“…Conifers dominate the watershed forest. The water basin geology consists mostly of granite and metamorphic rocks overlain by shallow soils with poor drainage and containing numerous lakes and many bogs and heaths, with resultant acidification (pH range 4.7 to 5.0) of the water (Watt 1986, Watt et al 1995. and Jessop et al (2002) provide a more detailed description of the river.…”

“…Drainages located in areas with relatively higher pH-buffering capacities may represent important refugia for pH-sensitive species and may thus be priorities for conservation to offset the impact of acidification. It is also technically possible to neutralize acidic waters with alkaline substances (e.g., limestone), although it is usually costly (Watt 1986). Reducing stressors at source, however, is a critical goal for addressing acidification problems over the longer term.…”
