Acid Snow - Snowpack Chemistry and Snowmelt

  • Chapter
Effects of Acid Precipitation on Terrestrial Ecosystems

Part of the book series: NATO Conference Series ((E,volume 4))

Abstract

Areas in which acid precipitation falls to a considerable degree as snow, exhibit special acidification problems during snow-melt, as illustrated by the particularly low pH-values found in many rivers and lakes during this period in Norway.
