Nevertheless, documentation of acidic deposition effects on soils has been limited, and little is known regarding soil responses to ongoing acidic deposition decreases. In this study, resampling of soils in eastern Canada and the northeastern U.S. was done at 27 sites exposed to reductions in wet SO<sub>4<\/sub><sup>2\u2212<\/sup> deposition of 5.7\u221276%, over intervals of 8\u221224 y. Decreases of exchangeable Al in the O horizon and increases in pH in the O and B horizons were seen at most sites. Among all sites, reductions in SO<sub>4<\/sub><sup>2\u2212<\/sup> deposition were positively correlated with ratios (final sampling\/initial sampling) of base saturation (P &lt; 0.01) and negatively correlated with exchangeable Al ratios (P &lt; 0.05) in the O horizon. However, base saturation in the B horizon decreased at one-third of the sites, with no increases. These results are unique in showing that the effects of acidic deposition on North American soils have begun to reverse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in Environmental Science and Technology 49(22): 13103-13111. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1021\/acs.est.5b02904 Decreasing trends in acidic deposition levels over the past several decades have led to partial chemical recovery of surface waters.
