In November 1981 a first symposium with the topics of "Acid
Deposition of Atmospheric Pollutants" was organised in
OberursellTaunus to introduce the problems and first results of
research-activities on wet and dry deposition of pollutants and on
acid precipitation. In the meantime the hazard to forest and
vegetation became more dramatic and research-projects to
investigate the input of pollutants to forest-ecosystems have been
initiated by several interdisciplinary groups. The rapidly
increasing interest in the problems of forest decay and the many
open questions with respect to the diagnosis of the forest-damage
were the background for the organisation of a second symposium
which was held in November 1985 at the same location in
Oberursel/Taunus. It was mainly concerned with new techniques of
sampling and analyzing pollutants in forest areas. Besides
deposition, one important pathway of pollutants in orographic
terrain is the interception of fog-droplets by vegetation. Special
emphasis was laid on the chemical composition of fog. The symposium
successfully assembled scientists from the field of atmospheric
research with those studying the effect of pollutants on trees and
vegetation in order to reduce the many open questions in connection
with forest desease. The proceedings presented in this volume are a
substantial contribution to the understanding of deposition and
interception of pollutants in forest-areas. Thanks to the authors
the volume contains a lot of new research .results and presents
therefore a true picture of our present knowledge."
