Mechanisms of episodic acidification in low-order streams in Maine, USA
Kahl J, Norton S, Haines T, Rochette E, Heath R, Nodvin S. 1992. Mechanisms of episodic acidification in low-order streams in Maine, USA. Environmental Pollution. 78:37-44
Discusses five factors contributing to episodic depressions of pH and acid neutralizing capacity in low order streams in Maine: increases in relative or absolute SO4, increases in absolute NO3, increases in organic acidity, salt effect generated acidity from soil solution, and dilution /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Upper Hadlock Pond/Lower Hadlock Pond
