Effects of Acidic Deposition on Soil Solution Quality and Nutrient Leaching in Forest Soils

  • Chapter
Forest Condition in a Changing Environment

Part of the book series: Forestry Sciences ((FOSC,volume 65))

Abstract

The loads of organic and inorganic compounds in wet deposition are dependent on their concentrations and on the amount of precipitation. The load of compounds received as dry deposition (gases, aerosols, and airborne particles) is dependent upon a number of factors, including the surface characteristics of the intercepting surface. Forest canopies, which have a large surface area, are especially effective at intercepting both wet and dry deposition. The composition and amount of bulk (wet + dry) deposition collected below a forest canopy (throughfall) is therefore usually different from the bulk deposition collected above the canopy. Bulk deposition collected in the open is often used as a surrogate of bulk deposition above the canopy.
