Abstract |
A simple mass balance equation was used to determine the important reactions that occur in selected lake watersheds of the Adirondack Park, the Southern Blue Ridge Province of the Appalachian Mountains, and a portion of northern Flordia. The mass balance requires only three input parameters: precipitation ion concentration, lake ion concentration, and an evapoconcentration factor appliable to the watershed. It was determined that the most important alkalizing reaction in all three study areas was the production of base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na1+) by ion exchange and chemical weathering, followed by sulfate adsorption in the Southern Blue Ridge watersheds and nitrate assimilation/reduction in the Adirondack Park.
