Evidence of Acidification of Headwater Streams in the New Jersey Pinelands
Johnson AH. 1979. Evidence of Acidification of Headwater Streams in the New Jersey Pinelands. Science. 206(4420):834-836
Seventeen years of stream pH data indicate a trend of acidification in 2 small streams in the New Jersey Pine Barrens which drain relatively undisturbed areas. The decline in pH has amounted to approx 0.4 unit, with an estimated increase in HSUP-+ concentration of about 50 microequivalents/l. The data collected to date are consistent with the postulation of an atmospheric source for the increased HSUP-+ .
