| Abstract |
Incident precipitation in the northeastern United States averages about pH 4 as a result of increased pollution from sulfuric and nitric acids. To determine the effect of this increased acidity on the ecology of aquatic ecosystems, dilute concentrations of sulfuric acid were added to Norris Brook, a stream in the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest, West Thornton, New Hampshire, USA. The stream was maintained at pH 4 from April to September 1977. Stream acidification decreased species diversity, increased representation of community dominants, and decreased the complexity of the food web. |
