Comparisons between experimentally- and atmospherically-acidified lakes during stress and recovery [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
In experiments lakes 223 (L223) and 302 South (L302S) in the Experimental Lakes Arca in north-western Ontario, and Little Rock Lake (LRL) in northern Wisconsin, were progressively acidilied with sulphuric acid from original pH values or 6.1-6.8 to 4.7-5.1. Although the lakes were at different locations with different physical settings and assemblages of plants and animals including fish, there were remarkable similarities in their responses, particularly in regard to biogeochemical process and effects on biota at lower trophic levels. All three lakes generated an important part of their buffering capacity internally by lhe reduction of s11lpha1c. and In a lesser extent by the reduction of nilrale. Alkalinity
