Acid precipitation and forest growth in the eastern US
Book
·
OSTI ID:6547068
Precipitation chemistry from eastern North America was analyzed to determine the history and geographic distribution of acid precipitation. Forests in New York, New England, and Tennessee were studied with tree-ring analysis to determine growth rates through time. The generality of a previously observed decrease in productivity at Hubbard Brook, New Hampshire, to other northern hardwood forests was investigated. Due to the unknown initiation date of acid precipitation and to the large variance of tree growth estimates with no obvious recent change, a correlation of forest growth and acid precipitation in eastern North America cannot be established at this time.
