Some aspects of air pollutant effects on terrestrial ecosystems and prospects for the future forest decline
1989
Overview
This paper briefly discusses some aspects of air pollution, including acid deposition, and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. Data on precipitation chemistry at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire shows declines in concentrations of hydrogen ion, sulfate, ammonium, and chloride since 1964. Using these long-term trends, predictions of sulfate deposition in the year 2000, using different SO2emission scenarios, are made. Numerous air pollutants such as mineral acids, ozone and toxic metals can stress terrestrial ecosystems and contribute to forest decline. Because of the potential severity and unpredictability of combinations of such anthropogenic stresses, as well as natural stresses, (e.g. drought), on terrestrial ecosystems, it would seem prudent to reduce anthropogenic stresses as much as possible in order to protect these valuable natural ecosystems.
