This project reviews the potential for acidic deposition to induce changes in forest soils and examines the hypothesized roles of these soil changes in decreased tree growth and forest dieback. Several damage mechanisms will be examined, and maps will be ...
This article discusses the effects of acid rain on both soil and forests, including the mobilization of ions in soils, the types of soils that are susceptible or resistant to ... ...

Studies in east Tennessee of three forest soils currently classified as sensitive to acid rain have indicated that acid deposition is unlikely to significantly acidify these soils or deplete base cations. The purpose of this report is to contend that thes...
