A comment on “Sulfur storage and alkalinity generation in New England lake sediments” (Giblin et al.)

Comment on “Preliminary analysis of the hydrologic and geochemieal controls on acid‐neutralizing capacity in two acidic seepage lakes in Florida” by Curtis D. Pollman et al.

“…Low productivity and low organic C favor low rates of sulfur retention in lake sediments [Stauffer, 1991;Giblin et al, 1991]. Moreover, like the present dynamical analysis involving Lake Barco, a mass balance showed that McNearney Lake did not retain sulfate over the course of the Paleolimnological Investigations of Recent Lake Acidification (PIRLA) Project .…”
