Development of an empirical model of episodic acidification in Coastal Plain streams

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7034040
; ;

The study forms part of an ongoing process to develop understanding of the effects of acidic deposition in Maryland and to develop tools for managing its consequences on natural resources. Episodic acidification is common in poorly buffered streams of the Coastal Plain of Maryland and may harm sensitive life stages of migratory fish that spawn in small sreams of the region. The study described here was intended to test and validate the modeling approach with independent data and to improve the confidence of model predictions.
