DROPPING ACID The U.S. Forest Service has been dousing the Fernow Experimental Forest (shown) near Parsons, W.Va., with acidifying chemicals since 1989 to simulate acid rain.

Remember acid rain? In the 1970s and ‘80s, scientists found that rain 100 times more acidic than normal was decimating forests in parts of the Northeast. Today, the recovery is impressive.

Cuts in power plant emissions have not done enough to reduce acid rain damage in the Northeast, an environmental research group says. Lakes, streams, soil and trees continue to suffer despite the ...

Although some acid rain-battered trees get needed calcium via fungi on their roots, forests are still endangered by other effects of acid rain, ecologists say.

Thus trees that harbor fungi on their roots benefit, while trees that don't affiliate with fungi, such as maples, are apparently harmed by acid rain carrying away calcium.
