Following from methods: 'This paper uses long-term records of wet deposition from the NADP (http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/), repeat surveys of lake chemistry at Acadia National Park dating back to 1982 (Kahl et al. 1985, Kahl 1996), data collected by the park's resource management division, and long-term records of lake chemistry from research conducted in New England (Kahl et al. 1991; Stoddard et al. 2003).' Summarized declines in sulfate deposition, declines in nitrate emissions and deposition, increases in pH and base cations in deposition, status of surface waters, and changes in surface water chemistry.
