Effects of atmospheric pollutants on forests, wetlands, and agricultural ecosystems
NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Effects of Acidic Deposition on Forests, Wetlands, and Agricultural Ecosystems (1985 : Toronto, Ont.)
1 online resource (xxvii, 652 pages) : illustrations.
This book provides a state-of-the-art report on the knowledge of the sensitivities and responses of forests, wetlands and crops to airborne pollutants. Pollutants examined include: acidic depositions, heavy metal particulates, sulphur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, acid fogs, and mixtures of these. Various types of ecosystem stresses and physiological mechanisms pertinent to acid deposition are also discussed. Related subjects, such as the effects of ethylene on vegetation, the physiology of drought in trees, the ability of soils to generate acidity naturally, the role of Sphagnum moss in natural peatland acidity, the use of lichens as indicators of changing air quality, and the magnitude of natural emissions of reduced sulphur gases from tropical rainforests and temperate deciduous forests, are extensively covered.
Geographical Overviews of Forest Decline -- Responses of Plants to Acidic Deposition -- Other Stresses Involved in Forest Decline -- Dendrochronological Studies -- Soil Acidification and Possible Toxicity -- Bryophyte and Lichen Studies -- Agricultural Responses -- Wetlands -- Ecosystems as a Source of Sulphur Emissions -- Cause/Effect Relations for Plant Damage -- Meeting Summaries -- Group Reports -- Author Index -- Species Index -- Subject Index.
