TL;DR: The MAGIC model was used to evaluate the relative sensitivity of several possible climate-induced effects on the recovery of soil and surface water from acidification and suggests that changes in forest growth and decomposition of soil organic matter are important at forested sites and sites at risk of nitrogen saturation.

TL;DR: In this article, the Tatra lakes were sampled and analyzed for ionic and nutrient composition in September 2004 (15 years after reduction in acid deposition) and the results were compared to similar lake surveys from 1994 (the beginning of water recovery from acidification) and 1984 (maximum acidification).

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic process-based model of surface water acidification, MAGIC, was applied to 31 representative alpine lakes in the Tatra Mountains and the model was calibrated to observed lake chemistry for the period 1980-2002.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of strongly acidified mountain streams covering 10 sites in the Czech Republic in the season 1999/2000 was performed to determine how acidification influenced macroinvertebrate community structure within a relatively narrow pH range.

TL;DR: In this article, the MAGIC model was used to reconstruct past stream water and soil chemistry of the rain-fed branch, and predict future recovery up to 2050 under current proposed emissions levels.
