Abstract |
Episodic acidification, the short-term decrease of acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) during hydrological events, commonly occurs in streams and lakes around the world. in localities receiving low levels of atmospheric deposition of N and S compounds, acidic episodes (ANC < or = 0) do not occur unless watershed sources of acidity are present. In regions receivng high levels of atmospheric deposition of acidic N and S compounds, acidic episodes with episodic minimum pH levels < or = 5 and high inorganic Al concentrations are common. Acidic episodes can have adverse effects on fish populations and other biota in streams. Assessments and evaluations of the aquatic effects of acidic deposition should consider explicitly the occurrences and consequences of episodic acidification. |
