Acidic deposition and its effect on aquatic ecosystems have become major scientific and public policy issues in the United States since the early 1970's, and many diverse studies have been completed. This book is a synthesis of available information on current and potential effects of acidic precipitation on lakes and streams in geographic regions with a high number of low-alkalinity surface water, from the Adirondacks and the Southern Blue Ridge to the Upper Midwest to the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada, and Cascades. The contributors examine the current status of water chemistry and characterizes the processes controlling water chemistry on a regional basis by using and comparing high-quality data sets. Methods for the assessments of long-term changes in water chemistry and their effects in fish and other biota are also presented. The book illustrates the substantial diversity among geographical regions with respect to the nature of surface waters and the complexity of their response to acidic deposition.
