TL;DR: It is shown that rising trends in DOC between 1990 and 2004 can be concisely explained by a simple model based solely on changes in deposition chemistry and catchment acid-sensitivity, and that the rise in DOC is integral to recovery from acidification.

TL;DR: Results from the ICP Waters programme clearly show widespread improvement in surface water acid-base chemistry, in response to emissions controls programs and decreasing acidic deposition, which may lead to biological recovery in the future.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed trends in surface water chemistry of 173 acid-sensitive sites from 12 regions in Europe and North America and demonstrated that chemical recovery was demonstrated in the form of positive trends in pH and/or alkalinity and acid neutralizing capacity (ANC).

TL;DR: A statistical framework for model calibration and uncertainty estimation for complex deterministic models is presented and a Bayesian approach is used to combine data from observations, the deterministic model, and prior parameter distributions to obtain forecast distributions.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that acute exposure to intermediate and high pM levels of EMB may pose hazards to nontarget crustaceans in the aquatic environment.
