Abstract
Lakes of the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in northwestern Colorado are sensitive to acidification if precipitation in the area becomes as acidic as that of the northeastern United States. Alkalinity values as small as 70 µeq l−1 occur in the higher‐altitude lakes. Most lakes at altitudes of 3380 m or greater are predicted to have alkalinity values of 200 µeq l−1 or less. About 370 lakes having a total surface area of about 157 ha are calculated to be sensitive to acidification.
