TLDR
In this paper, the authors reviewed the trends in the recent acidification of rivers and lakes in South Norway, and the evidence for a causal relationship between acid precipitation and acidified surface water is critically examined.About:

Pond aquaculture water quality management
Claude E. Boyd,Craig S. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: This work focuses on water quality and aquaculture in the context of ponds, and investigates the role of manure, water quality, and waste management in the development and management of these facilities.

Ecology of streams draining forested and non-forested catchments in an area of central Scotland subject to acid precipitation
R. Harriman,B. R. S. Morrison +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that spruce forests can effectively collect acid pollutants which are subsequently washed out, thus accelerating the acidification of the soil and streams therefore become increasingly acid as the neutralisation capacities of their catchments decrease.

Forest growth as a possible cause of soil and water acidification: an examination of the concepts
TL;DR: In this article, the root acidity is calculated as the excess cation accumulation in both stems and all above-ground tree components in a range of forest types, and values were derived for acidity resulting from the accumulated humus.

Metals in Scandinavian surface waters: Effects of acidification, liming, and potential reacidification
TL;DR: In this paper, a state-of-the-art review of surface waters of Swedish and Norwegian lakes is presented, focusing on natural and anthropogenic sources, chemical properties and levels, and toxicity mechanisms of these metals to aquatic organisms.

Long‐term and seasonal changes in the chemical composition of precipitation and surface waters of lakes and tarns in the English Lake District
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of lakes and tarns in the English Lake District was carried out in 1974 and 1976, showing that the composition of bulk (wet and dry) precipitation in 1975 and 1976 was similar to that found 22 years previously.

Mathematical simulation of subsurface flow contributions to snowmelt runoff, Reynolds Creek Watershed, Idaho
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model of subsurface flow is used to complement a field study of snowmelt runoff in a small upstream source area in the Reynolds Creek Experimental Watershed near Boise, Idaho.

Pedological influence of spruce planted on former beech forest soils in Scania, South Sweden
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the soil conditions in South Swedish localities where beech forest and first generation planted spruce exist side by side, and concluded that soils of moderately good mineral composition uninfluenced by underground water suffer most damage from podsolization when planted with spruce.

Alternative sources for acidification of river water in norway
TL;DR: In this article, it is demonstrated that the acid of precipitation during the last decades is only causing a minor part of the acidity of the brook, river and lake waters.

Special Report: ACID PRECIPITATIONThe acidity of rain and snow falling on parts of the U.S. and Europe has been rising—for reasons that are still not entirely clear and with consequences that have yet to be well evaluated

Runoff Processes during Snowmelt
Thomas Dunne,Richard D. Black +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured snowmelt runoff from three pastured plots as it moved to the stream channel over the ground surface, through the topsoil, and through the phreatic zone.
