Changes in the chemical composition of stream water in two catchments in the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, in response to atmospheric deposition of sulfur
Ryan PF, Hornberger GM, Cosby BJ, Galloway JN, Webb JR, Rastetter EB. 1989. Changes in the chemical composition of stream water in two catchments in the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia, in response to atmospheric deposition of sulfur. Water Resources Research. 25(10):2091-2099
This study of changes in chemical composition found for two catchments, Deep Run and White Oak Run, in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia that although 65% of the deposited sulphate is being retained, sulfate concentrations and acidity are increasing in these catchments. The discharge-weighted mean annual sulfate concentrations increased at a rate of 2 mueq/litre per year for both streams over the study
