Acid rain research program. Annual progress report, July 1976--September 1977. [Effects on plants and soil microbiological processes]

Technical Report Evans, L. S. ; Francis, A. J. ; Raynor, G. S.

Experiments were carried out and chemical aspects of ambient precipitation were determined using a sequential precipitation collector for the period July 1976 through September 1977. A related report provides experimental details. In experiments with plants, experiments were aimed to document: the foliar response of six clones of hybrid poplar to simulated acid rain; effects of buffered solutions and various anions on vegetative and sexual development of gametophytes of the fern (Pteridium aquilinum) and the acid-sensitive steps of symbiotic nitrogen fixation of the garden pea (Pisum sativum). After five 6 min daily exposures to simulated rain of pH 2.7, up tomore »« less

Effects of simulated acid rain on growth and yield of soybeans and pinto beans

Conference Evans, L S ; Lewin, K F

In order to assess the degree of damage that acid rain has or might have on plants, experiments were performed to determine the change in seed yield of two agronomic crops, soybeans and pinto beans, after exposure to simulated rain of pH 5.7, 3.1, 2.9, 2.7, and 2.5. Moreover, the effects of simulated acid rain were determined on a variety of other experimental parameters to understand further how plants respond to this environmental stress. Simulated acid rain of pH 3.1 and below decreased the dry mass of seeds, leaves, and stems of pinto beans. On a percentage mass basis themore »« less
Acid rain research program. Annual progress report, September 1975--June 1976

Technical Report Evans, L S ; Raynor, G S

The aims of the research program are: (a) to observe the minimum threshold dose of simulated acid rain to produce visual and histological effects on plant foliage, (b) approach threshold limits of simulated sulfate acid rain that affect plant growth and reproduction, and (c) to measure chemical and meteorological parameters of incident rain. Acute leaf injury to several plant species resulted from exposure of foliage to simulated sulfate acid rain of pH level 2.3 to 2.9. Only slight injury occurred at 3.1. Scanning electron micrographs showed that injury to upper leaf surfaces occurred mostly at the base of trichomes (leafmore »« less

Foliar Responses that may Determine Plant Injury by Simulated Acid Rain

Conference Evans, L. S.

The aim of the research presented here is to try to use visual, scanning electron micrographs, and histological preparations as tools to predict the relative sensitivity of various plant species to simulated acid rain. It is hoped that these results might enable a prediction of the relative sensitivities of major plant groups of economic and aesthetic interest to air pollutants.
