Examines the basic chemical processes involved in acidification in order to better assess their long-term effects on the status of soils, the health of plants and other living species that depend on them. Discusses acidity, pH and protons--their significance in bioenergetics and the consequent role of autotrophic organisms in acidifying ecosystems. The Second Edition incorporates and integrates recent findings that render more explanations of the causes of the environmental impacts of acidity, especially in forests and lakes. Also explores current research into acid rain and soil in order to devise appropriate measures for their amelioration. Features numerous case studies and a bibliography that has doubled in size.
