Abstract

Acidic deposition is hypothesized to cause changes in soil chemistry and to damage terrestrial ecosystems primarily through effects on soil acidification (Bloom and Grigal 1985, Environmental Resources Ltd. 1983, McFee et al. 1977, Norton 1979, Ruess 1983, Ulrich et al. 1980). The potential effects of acidic deposition on soils are perceived to be greater for forest ecosystems than for more intensively managed agricultural eco-systems, principally because of the limited nutrient status and strong aluminum-buffering of many forest soils (Comptroller General of the United States 1984, David and Driscoll 1984, Voigt 1980).
