In terrestrial plants acid rain causes: 1. Reduced rate of photosynthesis and growth. 2. becomes sensitive to drought and diseases. 3. Retarded growth in a variety of crops like beans, radish, spinach etc. 4. Activity of nitrogen fixing bacteria are severely affected which ultimately hampers the nitrogen cycle. 5 03/12/ · Acid rain results when sulfur dioxide (SO 2) and nitrogen oxides (NO X) are emitted into the atmosphere and transported by wind and air currents. The SO 2 and NO X react with water, oxygen and other chemicals to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These then mix with water and other materials before falling to the ground 18/08/ · In the early to mid ‘80s, scientists observed that many lakes and streams were becoming too acidic to support fish, amphibians, and other aquatic life. On land, acid rain was stripping nutrients from soil and foliage that plants needed to grow. Acid rain also contributed to increased weathering of buildings, statues, and gravestones
Forms of Acid Deposition
Acid rain research: a review and analysis of methodology Abstract The acidic deposition phenomena, when implicated as a factor potentially responsible for crop and forest yield losses and destruction of aquatic life, has gained increasing attention ACID RAIN David M Newbery Department of Applied Economics Cambridge and CEPR (Revised 6 August ) 1. Introduction Air pollution is not a new phenomenon - Estimated Reading Time: 6 mins Acid rain is a popular term for the atmospheric deposition of rain, snow, sleet, hail, acidifying gases and particles, as well as acidified fog and cloud water.

Acid rain research: a review and analysis of methodology Abstract The acidic deposition phenomena, when implicated as a factor potentially responsible for crop and forest yield losses and destruction of aquatic life, has gained increasing attention Acid rain is caused by a chemical reaction that begins when compounds such as sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen are released into the air. These substances can rise very high up into the atmosphere, where they mix and react with water, oxygen, and other chemicals to form more acidic pollutants called acid rain In terrestrial plants acid rain causes: 1. Reduced rate of photosynthesis and growth. 2. becomes sensitive to drought and diseases. 3. Retarded growth in a variety of crops like beans, radish, spinach etc. 4. Activity of nitrogen fixing bacteria are severely affected which ultimately hampers the nitrogen cycle. 5
