    Forest Dieback (Waldsterben) and Acidity
    In terrestrial ecosystems, pollutants such as sulfur dioxide ($\text{SO}2$) and nitrogen oxides ($\text{NO}x$) react with atmospheric moisture to form sulfuric and nitric acids. These acids fall back to earth as acid deposition (acid rain or dry deposition). A significant historical concern was Waldsterben (forest dieback) in Central Europe, where high levels of acid deposition leached essential [soi…
