Abstract

The effect of forest canopy on the chemical composition of Throughfall was studied in four forests, two coniferous plantations of Pinus radiata and two deciduous forests (Quercus robur and Q.rubra, respectively) near bilbao (Bizkaia), Basque Country (Northern Spain) during one year. The study areas are assumed to have different levels of pollution: Manzanal suffers industrial pollution mainly of SO4 2‐ and N.NO3 , while Durango has industrial and agricultural pollution mainly of N.NH4 + and SO4 2‐
