Abstract:
... The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationships of contrasting soil properties, climate and atmospheric pollutant (especially S) deposition to elemental concentrations in tree rings. Concentrations of 12 elements were determined in annual rings of tuliptree (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) by proton-induced x-ray emission for the 50 even years from 1880 to 1980 within an urbanized-i ...

Abstract:
... The hydrochemistry of mountain lakes is highly conditioned by the chemicalcomposition of atmospheric deposition and by climate characteristics. Consequently these ecosystems have proved to be sensitive to long-term changes in both factors. Climate warming seems to be particularly pronounced in the Alpine region. A reduction of snow cover in space and time, due to less precipitation and higher temp ...
