The Green Lane: Acid rain
Forests in upland areas may also experience damage from acid fog that often forms at higher elevations. Are these effects reversible? Acid rain has caused severe depletion of nutrients in forest soils in parts of Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces, as well as in the northeastern United States. While this may be ...
