Physical and Cognitive Performance of the Least Shrew (Cryptotis parva) on a Calcium-Restricted Diet

Behavioral Sciences, 2012
Geological substrates and air pollution affect the availability of calcium to mammals in many habitats, including the Adirondack Mountain Region (Adirondacks) of the United States. Mammalian insectivores, such as shrews, may be particularly restricted in

Experiences with liming in European countries - results of long-term experiments

Journal of Forest Science, 2006
Liming was and still is carried out in many European forests since the beginning of the 1980s. Main objectives of compensation liming is to neutralize actual acidic deposition in order to prevent further soil acidification, to increase base saturation ...

Terrestrial acidification and ecosystem services: effects of acid rain on bunnies, baseball, and Christmas trees

Ecosphere, 2017
Often termed “acid rain,” combined nitrogen and sulfur deposition can directly and indirectly impact the condition and health of forest ecosystems. Researchers use critical loads (CLs) to describe response thresholds, and recent studies on acid‐sensitive

Effect of sulfuric acid concentration on the quality of copper microcolumns in localized electrochemical deposition

Materials Research Express, 2020
Localized electrochemical deposition (LECD) is a promising method for three-dimensional micro-/nanofabrication and, thus, the factors influencing LECD have been intensively investigated.

Estimation of Economic Loss from Acid Deposition Based on Damage Function

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
The destruction of materials exposed to atmospheric acid is an important part of the economic loss of acid deposition. In this paper, by analyzing the mechanism of material damage caused by acid deposition and referring to the damage function at home and

Global soil acidification impacts on belowground processes

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
With continuous nitrogen (N) enrichment and sulfur (S) deposition, soil acidification has accelerated and become a global environmental issue. However, a full understanding of the general pattern of ecosystem belowground processes in response to soil ...

An overview of atmospheric deposition chemistry over the Alps: present status and long-term trends [PDF]

, 2006
Several research programs monitoring atmospheric deposition have been launched in the Alpine countries in the last few decades. This paper uses data from previous and ongoing projects to: (i) investigate geographical variability in wet deposition ...

Stage-dependent associations between leaf litter chemistry and decomposition under nitrogen deposition and reduced precipitation in a subtropical forest

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Litter decomposition regulates carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems and is sensitive to nitrogen deposition and drought. As decomposition proceeds, litter chemistry changes and the decomposition rate decrease, likely with a ...

The assessment of Acid concentration and Wet deposition in Spring and Autumn Rainfalls in Mashhad [PDF]

Desert, 2006
Acid rain has been a big problem for urban area during recent decades. Acid rain comes from high concentration of air pollutant, including man made or artificial and natural, in the atmosphere.
