Figure 29.-Soil Sensitivity to Acid Deposition (nonagricultural)
Forested and range areas with soils thought to be susceptible to the effects of acid deposition. Shaded areas represent counties
in which a susceptible soil type predominates. The three levels of shading correspond to different soil types, and potential
effects, rather than to degrees of susceptibility.Legend
SSoils most susceptible to further
acidification and nutrient loss
Naturally acidic soils most
susceptible to aluminum release;
nutrient loss might be significant
Naturally acidic soils potentially
susceptible to aluminum release;
surface soils might allow aluminum
release, but subsurface soils might
not be susceptible
