Abstract:Acid deposition can lead to lake and watershed acidification, increases in lake transparency, and reductions in thermal stability and hypolimnetic oxygen deficits. On the basis of lake surveys during August‐September 1985, we determined to what extent the deeper (maximum depth zm > 17 m) Maine lakes in acid‐sensitive granitic watersheds have registered changes in temperature and oxygen stratification, as compared to 1938–1942, when G. P. Cooper performed the earliest scientific surveys of the state's lakes. Af… Show more
