Evidence of acidification of headwater streams in the new jersey pinelands.
Seventeen years of stream pH data indicate a trend of acidification in two small streams in the New Jersey Pine Barrens which drain relatively undisturbed areas. The decline in pH has amounted to approximately 0.4 unit, with an estimated increase in H(+) concentration of about 50 microequivalents per liter. The data collected to date are consistent with the postulation of an atmospheric source for the increased H(+).
