Acid precipitation in the Colorado Front Range: an overview with time predictions for significant effects

Natural features in the Colorado Front Range interact to form a region that is potentially sensitive to acid precipitation. A survey of published work on soil and surface water chemistry establishes a framework from which predictions are made as to when significant ecological effects of acid precipi...

Description
Summary:Natural features in the Colorado Front Range interact to form a region that is potentially sensitive to acid precipitation. A survey of published work on soil and surface water chemistry establishes a framework from which predictions are made as to when significant ecological effects of acid precipitation on aquatic ecosystems in the Front Range will occur. Regression analysis on 88 lakes and streams showed significant (p
