Abstract
The neutralization of strong acids from precipitation is largely accomplished (75 percent) in the soil zone by rapid reaction with basic aluminum salts and biologic matter. On a regional basis, acidified and aluminum-rich lakes and streams in New England are confined mainly to low-order watersheds.Keywords
