| Abstract |
Experiments were performed to assess the effects of acid fog on foliar injury, biomass production, and nutrient leaching in selected conifers. One-year old seedlings of Pseudotsuga menzieii, Pinus ponderosa, Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja plicata were exposed episodically to fog events of variable duration (22 events over a 60 day period for a total of 93 hr). Exposures occurred in open top chambers with fog acidified to pHs of 2.1, 3.1 or 5.6. Foliar injury was observed only in T. heterophylla (pH 2.1 and 3.1) and T. plicata (pH2.1). The low pH fog treatments significantly reduced root biomass in T. heterophylla and across species there was a trend towards a reduced proportion of total dry weight as roots with decreasing fog pH. Fog pH did not affect total biomass production or foliar nutrient contents. However, plant growth and foliar nutrient levels were higher in plants grown at the higher nutrient level. |
