Vegetation, soils and ion transfer through the forest canopy in two Nova Scotia lake basins

Characterization of the forest vegetation and soils in two adjacent, contrasting headwater lake basins located in Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia was completed in 1980. Precipitation chemistry was studied during May to November, 1981-83 at two forested plots in each basin. There were no differ...

Description
Summary:Characterization of the forest vegetation and soils in two adjacent, contrasting headwater lake basins located in Kejimkujik National Park, Nova Scotia was completed in 1980. Precipitation chemistry was studied during May to November, 1981-83 at two forested plots in each basin. There were no differences between the basins in mean incident bulk precipitation pH. Mean volume-weighted pH for the period (73 collections) was 4.80. Sixteen percent of collections had a pH < 4.25. Sulphate deposition in incident bulk precipitation (May - November) ranged from 5.4-8.5 kg/ha during 1981-83 while NO super(-) sub(3) ranged from 0.04-0.93 kg/ha.
