1993

Atmospheric pollutant can cause direct effects mediated by foliage and indirect effects mediated through soil. Biotic and abiotic factors can confound relationships among nutrient cycling, growth loss and mortality and air pollution. Changes in the soils could result from acidic deposition. Changes could include increased fertility as a result of sulphur and nitrogen input to soils that are deficient in these elements or decreased fertility through ion leaching or mobilization of toxic substances as aluminium.

Huettl, R.F. (Forestry Dept. Kali and Salz AG, Kassel (Germany))
Enhanced forest growth in combination with relatively high Nitrogen deposition may result in further pedologic and nutritional changes and an even greater destabilisation of forest ecosystems.
