Effects of Acid Rain on Forest Processes
Author: Douglas L. GodboldPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471517689
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
A detailed analysis of acidification effects on forest soil, rhizosphere and plant life and on the processes connecting them such as nutrient uptake and mineral cycling. Presents findings from the Solling project, an important long-term study on acid rain results in Germany's Black Forest, as well as other European forests which have experienced severe acid rain damage as a means of evaluating and predicting similar harm to U.S. forests.
The Effects of Simulated Acid Rain on Two Plant Species
Author: Michael BaraziaAir Pollution Impacts on Plants in East Asia
Author: Takeshi IzutaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 4431564381
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
This is the only book to offer an up-to-date overview of air pollution in East Asia and the effects of air pollutants such as ozone, acid deposition and aerosols on Asian crops and trees. It is unique in that it discusses the fundamentals of environmental plant science and research advances in the area at the plant ecophysiology level. It addresses various topics, including gaseous air pollutants such as ozone; soil acidification and atmospheric nitrogen deposition due to acid deposition; PM2.5 and the effects of air pollutants on growth, yield and physiological functions such as photosynthesis of crops and trees in East Asia. It is a valuable resource for environmental scientists, plant scientists, government officials, industrialists, environmentalists, undergraduate and graduate students and anyone interested in the application of the latest findings to agricultural production and protection of forest ecosystems in Asia. It also provides useful information for professionals involved in research, development, production, processing and marketing of agricultural products, including those in developing countries who are interested in advanced environmental science in this field.
Effect of Simulated Acid Rain on Plants

Book Description
Environmental pollution occurs due to release of harmful gases from industrial units. It results in the form of acid rain either wet or dry form. Factories, vehicles, power stations and industries burn fossil fuels and produce harmful gases, comprising sulfur dioxide, or oxides of nitrogen, which become the major course of acid rain. Acid rain sometimes falls in the form of precipitation which can be snow, rain, dew or fog. Dry deposition is absorption of particles such as polluting gases, dust particles and gaseous elements by the surface of the Earth. The pH level of acid rain may be less than 7 but when the concentration of pollutants increases in the atmosphere, it further decreases and strong acids like sulfuric and nitric acid are formed. Acid rain induces visible lesion injury on plant shoots and on other tissues. It also destroys epicuticular wax; reduces photosynthetic rate and chlorophyll contents. Acid rain in plants can considerably reduce plant height, number of leaves, fresh and dry weight contents. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of simulated acid rain on the growth performance of Wheat and Oat crops.
Effects of Acid Precipitation on Terrestrial Ecosystems

Book Description
This volume contains papers presented at a NATO Advanced Research Institute, sponsored by their Eco-Sciences Panel, on "The effects of acid precipitation on vegetation and soils," held at Toronto, Canada from May 22-26, 1978. The organizing expenses and greater part of the expenses of the speakers and chair~en were provided by N.A.T.O. The scientific programme was planned by T. C. Hutchinson together with an international planning committee of G. Abrahamsen (Norway), G. Likens (U.S.A.), F.E. Last (U.K.), C.O. Tamm (Sweden) and B. Ulrich (W. Germany). Many of the dimensions of the 'acid rain' problem are common to countries of northern Europe and North America. The developing awareness over the past ten years of the international nature of the acid rain phenomenon has lead to studies documenting damaging effects on susceptible freshwater bodies. Large areas of the Canadian Pre-Cambrian Shield, with its extension into the United States, and the granitic areas of southern Norwayand Sweden contain lakes which are in the process of acidification. The biological resources of these affected areas are of considerable national concern. However, while clearly damaging effects of acidification on freshwater systems have been well documented, the impact of acid precipitation on terrestrial systems has not been so well understood.
Effect of Simulated Acid Rain Stress on the Nutrient Quality

Book Description
Acid rain is a global phenomenon affecting every aspect of man's life on the earth. Acid rain is a rain and other forms of deposition that are acidic. Industrialization, population increase and other forms of anthropogenic activities have resulted to increase concentrations of both gaseous and particulate pollutants in the atmosphere causing air pollution. Stress is any form of disturbance that causes alterations in the morphology, whole plant physiology and biochemistry. Acid rain stress like other stressors is directly linked to increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which badly damages cells. Among the most important challenges facing human in the 21st century is ''air pollution''. Air pollutants like oxides of nitrogen and sulphur are the primary causes of acid rain and to some extent ozone. The release of these gases which rapidly react with water in the atmosphere creates an acidic atmosphere with overwhelming effects on human health, plants, soil etc. This book is intended to present research findings on effect of simulated acid rain on nutrient quality of some vegetables species consumed in Nigeria an area with scare information.
