Abstract
It has been the aim, in this book, to deal with the principles and practice of catchment liming based on what has been learned from the Loch Fleet project and by reference to experience reported for other liming studies. Source material for the preceding chapters is derived from diverse disciplinary fields. This chapter aims to integrate and assess the results of all these areas of investigation and to provide an appraisal of the Loch Fleet project as a catchment liming experiment, placing what has been learnt at Loch Fleet in the context of other projects aimed at mitigating acidification.
