Before the unification of Germany, emission loads of SO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e and  dust particles were up to 18-fold higher in East than in West Germany.  However, emission rates have decreased significantly since  reunification in 1990, due to the breakdown of a large number of  industrial and particularly lignite- fired powerplants and the  implementation of clean air technologies. In order to study the  effects of these dramatic changes in atmospheric chemistry on  terrestrial ecosystems, comprehensive field studies were conducted in  pine forest ecosystems along an historic gradient of atmospheric  deposition rates in the northeastern lowlands of Germany. The fast and  dramatic reduction of dust particle and SO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e emissions offers a  unique opportunity to test the role of SO\u003csub\u003e2\u003c\/sub\u003e and alkaline  particle deposition with regard to changes or damage to forest  ecosystems and whether the forest stands return to a state of  resilience. In this respect, this ecosystem experiment can be looked  upon as a roof experiment without a roof.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792357131\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9022-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 233cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 325\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265713524876,"sku":"9780792357131","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792357131.jpg?v=1770788847","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792357131","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
