This discussion is a rebuttal to A. Henriken's critique of the authors original correspondence regarding acid rain. The author states that Henriksen appears to have misunderstood the intent of his original correspondence, which was not to document evidence but rather to assert two generalities: 1) Adverse effects of acid deposition on ecosystems are commonly overstated. 2) The biogeochemistry of ecosystems is easily oversimplified, and natural sources of acidity are often ignored.
