Wilts and destroys tree leaves and needles (Cristol 2002).
Leaches trees lives by sustaining metal nutrients from topsoil (Cristol 2002).
Leaching magnesium deficiency (Cristol 2002).
It causes deterioration of buildings and monuments (Cristol 2002).
Turns calcium carbonate to calcium sulfate. The calcium sulfate can crumble and be washed away (Cristol 2002).
Particles which can be formed from sulfate and nitrate ions can affect respiration (Cristol 2002).
Acid rain may remove soil nutrients such as calcium and magnesium from soils (Cristol 2002).
It robs the soil of essential nutrients and releases aluminum in the soil, which makes it hard for trees to take up water (Cristol 2002).

STAPLE TO THE FRONT OF A HARD-COPY OF THIS SOURCE!
Trees' immune systems may be damaged by pollution.
Acid rain may be even more damaging to forests than previously thought: Not only does acid rain wilt and destroy trees' leaves and needles, but new research shows it also leaches their life-sustaining metal nutrients from topsoil.
The news comes from University of California-Riverside scientists who experimented on trees in Chile's pristine forests--far removed from industrial pollutants--to learn how forest ecosystems are supposed to work if left alone. The scientists were surprised to discover that trees obtain their essential metal elements (such as potassium,

    Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are gases released by the burning of fossil fuels. These gases can react with water and oxygen to form acids. Normally, rainwater is slightly acidic. But the additional acid that enters the air when fuels are burned makes it even more acidic. Acid rain can have a harmful effect on fish and other wildlife and upsets the delicate balance of a forest or aquatic ecosystem. The good news is that it works the other way, too. Decreasing car and factory emissions can reduce acid rain and help wildlife.…

    Acid rain is usually a result of human air pollution such as emissions of sulfur and nitrogen compounds. These compounds react with those in the atmosphere causing acids to be produced and in turn causing precipitation to be acidic in nature. The negative impact of acid rain is evident in ecosystems. Acid rain changes the PH levels of rivers and lakes. Animals such as fish are very susceptible to changes in PH and therefore are unable to survive if the change is too drastic. Plankton and invertebrates are put even more at risk. Acid rain in water environments can also affect plant life. On land, acid rain damages forests in high altitudes and also lowers the fertility of soil as important nutrients and minerals are removed from it. These impacts on different aspects of the environment have a trickling down effect that negatively influence entire…

    Acid rain can slow the growth of vulnerable forests and cause leaves and needles to turn brown and fall off. In addition, it depletes minerals from the soil and then it stunts the growth of the plant. Some of the most dramatic effects on forests have been observed in Europe. In 1983, a survey in West Germany showed that 34 % of the country's total forest is damaged by air pollution. This included about one half of the famous Black Forest. Switzerland has recorded damage to 14 % of its forest trees.…

    The term “Acid Rain” is a broad term used to describe several ways in which acid falls out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition. There are two parts of acid deposition, wet and dry. Acidic rain, fog, and snow are some common example of wet deposition. As these acidic form flows to the ground, it affects most of their surroundings including…

    “In less than one hundred years over half of the forest has now been cut and burned, leaving whole areas of the earth bare and unprotected, rendering entire regions lifeless. Over fifty million acres of tropical rain forest are destroyed every year, enough trees to fill all of England and Scotland combined,” stated Cedar.int. Forests have many beneficial qualities that are essential to human life, and each and every day humans are participating in deforestation. Some of the important contributions of forests are the production of oxygen, reduction of global warming, and providing wildlife habitats. Those contributions are only a fraction of why we need to conserve the forests of the world.…

    Investigating Acid Rain

    • 1340 Words

    Soil acidification is the build up of hydrogen ions(H+), reducing the pH, therefore the soil becomes too acidic. The donor can be an acid, such as nitric acid and sulfuric acid.The addition of the acids can be due to acid rain and pollution. Many nitrogen compounds, which are added as fertilizer, also acidify soil over the long term because they produce nitrous and nitric acid when oxidized in the process of nitrification. Acidification also occurs when base cations such as calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium are leached from the soil. This leaching increases with increasing precipitation. Plants take bases from the soil as they grow, donating…
