Recovery from acidification in central Europe-observed and predicted changes of soil and streamwater chemistry in the Lysina catchment, Czech Republic

摘要

The geochemical model MAGIC was applied toil estimate streamwater and soil chemistry between 1851 and 2030 at the Lysina catchment, an acid-sensitive granitic catchment covered by planted Norway spruce monoculture in the western Czech Republic. The total deposition of sulfur to the catchment was 164 meq m~-2 in 1991, but had declined to 52 meq m~-2 by 2000. Although SO_2 Emissions in the region declined by 90/100 compared to the 1980s, acidification recovery was small within the period 1990-2000.
