Study was designed to test whether acidic precipitation can be deleterious or beneficial to waterfowl because of their food, ie. Zooplankton, macrobenthos and macrophytes. Black duck, Anas rubripes, was focus of study. [...] [ click to read more ]
The authors studied cores representing over 200 years of sediment accumulation in historically acidic Mud Pond and Little Long Pond in eastern Maine. Sequential chemical extractions of sediment were used to assess the history of [...] [ click to read more ]
Historical phosphorus (P) dynamics were studied using sediment cores from three oligotrophic, acidic lakes in Maine, USA. Long-term oligotrophy of these lakes is consistent with high sediment aluminum (as Al(OH)3) concentrations, as Al inhibits internal [...] [ click to read more ]
