The Potential of Soils and Bedrock to Reduce the Acidity of Atmospheric Deposition

Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a map that shows vulnerability of soils and bedrock to acid precipitation using low, moderate and high sensitivity classes. The table covers sensitivity of water areas and the small map shows pattern of sulphate deposition by precipitation. An inset map shows sulphate wet deposition.
