“…whole plant length were decreased with reducing Ca/Al ratios at 26 ppm of Al (Table 3). It has been reported that Al toxicity in forest trees will be manifested with Ca/Al molar ratio < 1 [38] or < 2 [39]. The Ca effect cannot be explained in terms of the alleviation of Ca deficiency because Ca concentration elevated from 0.3 to 3 or 30 mM without Al did not increase root length and whole plant length of red pine seedlings in this study.…”

Acid deposition has been one of the major environmental pollution problems for longer than 50 years, since the 1970s. Investigation on the interaction of aluminum (Al) and low pH effects on red pine (Pinus densiflora Sieb. and Zucc.) has been required but lacking. In the present study, needles of red pine seedlings exposed to Al treatments with solution pH 4.0 and 3.5 exhibited purplish leaf characteristics of Al toxicity. The dry weights of the needle and whole plant, and the current needle elongation were linearly reduced with Al concentrations from 0, 13 to 26 ppm. Results show that red pine is an intermediate species in sensitivity to Al and is insensitive to low pH. However, the synergistic interactions of low pH treatments with the elevated Al were significant. Al toxicity to the root elongation, needle matter production, and needle elongation of red pine was significantly enlarged with reduced pH. The root length and whole plant length were significantly decreased at 1:10 of Ca/Al ratios (p < 0.05). Al phytotoxicity was completely lost when the Ca/Al molar ratio was 10:1. Liming is still an applicable measure to remediate acidification problems by natural or anthropogenic factors such as acid deposition.

“…We analyzed the 2008 vegetation for calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, aluminum and manganese. We included aluminum and manganese in 2008 because liming was predicted to result in decreases in the availability of aluminum and manganese to plants (both increase in availability as soil become acidified) [46] . We were unable to include crude protein in the analyses in 2008.…”

Effects of Liming on Forage Availability and Nutrient Content in a Forest Impacted by Acid Rain

et al. 2012

Acidic deposition and subsequent forest soil acidification and nutrient depletion can affect negatively the growth, health and nutrient content of vegetation, potentially limiting the availability and nutrient content of forage for white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) and other forest herbivores. Liming is a mitigation technique that can be used to restore forest health in acidified areas, but little is known about how it affects the growth or nutrient content of deer forage. We examined the effects of dolomitic limestone application on the growth and chemical composition of understory plants in an acidified forest in central Pennsylvania, with a focus on vegetative groups included as white-tailed deer forage. We used a Before-After-Control-Impact study design with observations 1 year before liming and up to 5 years post-liming on 2 treated and 2 untreated 100-ha sites. Before liming, forage availability and several nutrients were below levels considered optimal for white-tailed deer, and many vegetative characteristics were related to soil chemistry. We observed a positive effect of liming on forb biomass, with a 2.7 fold increase on limed sites, but no biomass response in other vegetation groups. We observed positive effects of liming on calcium and magnesium content and negative effects on aluminum and manganese content of several plant groups. Responses to liming by forbs and plant nutrients show promise for improving vegetation health and forage quality and quantity for deer.

“…Deposition of acid (H + ) and acid anions (such as NO 3 − and SO 4 2− ) promotes soil acidity and stimulates leaching and consequent loss of base cations (such as Mg 2+ , K + , and Ca 2+ ), many of which are essential plant nutrients (Lovett et al, 1985;De Schrijver et al, 2004;Likens, 2013). This process has been reported to promote soil acid infertility, characterized by elevated Al or H + toxicity and nutrient deficiency, as well as accelerated soil podzolization (Wolt, 1990;Neary and Gizyn, 1994). However, atmospheric deposition can also alleviate acid inputs to the soil.…”

Atmospheric deposition is an important pathway for moisture, nutrient, and pollutant exchange among the atmosphere, forest, and soils. Previous work has shown the importance of proximity to the forest edge to chemical fluxes in throughfall, but far less research has considered stemflow. This study examined the difference in acid neutralization capacity (ANC) of stemflow of nineteen Liriodendron tulipifera L. (yellow poplar) trees between the forest edge and interior in a rural area of northeastern Maryland. We measured ANC directly via potentiometric titration. Stemflow from trees at the forest edge was found to have significantly higher and more variable pH and ANC than in the forest interior (p < 0.01). No mathematical trend between ANC and distance to the forest edge was observed, indicating the importance of individual tree characteristics in stemflow production and chemistry. These results reaffirm the importance of stemflow for acid neutralization by deciduous tree species.
