Knowledge in the field of acidic deposition is expanding rapidly,
and both ex perts and non-experts are challenged to keep up with
the latest information. We designed our assessment to include both
the basic foundation needed by non experts and the detailed
information needed by experts. Our assessment in cludes background
information on acidic deposition (Chapter 1), an in-depth
discussion of the nature of soil acidity and ecosystem H+ budgets
(Chapter 2), and a summary of rates of deposition in the
Southeastern U.S. (Chapter 3). A discussion of the nature of forest
soils in the region (Chapter 4) is followed by an overview of
previous assessments of soil sensitivity to acidification (Chapter
5). The potential impacts of acidic deposition on forest nutrition
are described in the context of the degree of current nutrient
limitation on forest productivity (Chap ter 6). The results of
simulations with the MAGIC model provided evaluations of the likely
sensitivity of a variety of soils representative of forest soils in
the South (Chapter 7), as well as a test of soil sensitivity
criteria. Our synthesis and recommendations for research (Chapter
8) also serve as an executive summary. A complementary volume in
the Springer-Verlag Ecological Studies series should be consulted
for information on European forests. This volume, Acidic Deposition
and Forest Decline in the Fictelgebirge, edited by E.-D. Schultze
and O.L. Lange, also provides greater detail on the physiologic
responses of trees than we present in our regional assessment."
