Atmospheric deposition of sulfur and nitrogen species have the potential to acidify terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, but nitrate and ammonium are also critical nutrients for plant and microbial productivity. Both the ecological response and the hydrochemical response to atmospheric deposition are of interest to regulatory and land management agencies. We developed a non-spatial biogeochemical model to simulate soil and surface water chemistry by linking the daily version of the CENTURY ecosystem model (DayCent) with a low temperature aqueous geochemical model, PHREEQC. The coupled model, DayCent-Chem, simulates the daily dynamics of plant production, soil organic matter, cation exchange, mineral weathering, elution,...

Conclusions: Watershed area and the percentage of a watershed that is covered by forest significantly influence watershed sensitivity to acidic deposition. Based on these landscape pattern indicators, one can identify subregions where acid-sensitive streams are most abundant. Thresholds/Learnings: Synopsis: Hypotheses relating to watershed sensitivity to acidic deposition were tested using a geologic classification scheme and available regional data for the Southern Appalachian Mountains region. Landscape characteristics including lithology, elevation, elevational gradients, landscape position, and forest cover were used in the geologic classification scheme. Acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) was used as the stratifying...

This data product contains soil chemistry data from 4 locations. Two of the locations were located in the Neversink River watershed near Claryville, NY (01435000) in the Catskill Mountains of New York (Fall Brook and Winnisook Creek), 1 of the locations was the Young Woman’s Creek watershed near Renovo, PA (01545600) and the last site was the Wild River watershed at Gilead, Maine (01054200). Soil chemistry was collected at 2 times at each location: in 2001 and 2011 in Fall Brook, Young Woman’s Creek and Wild River and in 1993 and 2012 in Winnisook. This data product also contains water-quality data from 5 water-quality stations: West Branch Neversink River at Winnisook Lake [01434021], East Branch Neversink River...
