Abstract
The problem of forest decline, and its possible association with atmospheric pollution has been the subject of much research in recent years. Although at least 18 major declines were reported in Europe and North America between 1900 and the late 1970s, the fact that damage was identified simultaneously in so many parts of the northern hemisphere makes the present problem particularly noteworthy. Declines have long term consequences on yield or even on the existence of a forest or species.
