Date: 1980

Source: USDA Forest Service General Technical Report PSW-043, 256 p.

Station ID: GTR-PSW-043

Description: These proceedings papers and poster summaries discuss the influence of air pollution on relationships; interactions of producers, consumers, and decomposers under pollutant terrestrial and related aquatic ecosystems. They describe single species-single pollutant stress; and the use of ecological systems models for interpreting and predicting pollutant effects.

Key Words: Air pollution injury, acidic precipitation, pollutant stress, terrestrial habitats, species-pollutant relationship, mathematical models
