PHASE I REPORT

Table D-1. Indicators for monitoring and evaluating effects from deposition of Sulfur and Nitrogen.

ECOSYSTEM INDICATORS FOR SULFUR DEPOSITION
Freshwater Chemical change (ANC depression), changes in phytoplankton and benthic community composition, species diversity, biomass
Terrestrial Leaching of soil cations, soil acidification, mobilization of aluminum ions
Estuarine Saltwater not sensitive to S deposition; leaching of nutrients may occur in sandy nearshore soils

ECOSYSTEM INDICATORS FOR SULFUR DEPOSITION
Freshwater Chemical change (ANC depression), changes in phytoplankton and benthic community composition, species diversity, biomass
Terrestrial Changes in: litter and soil carbon and N dynamics; biomass; soil N processes; litter decomposition rates; soil microbe functional groups; soil organic matter quality and quantity; soilwater chemistry
Estuarine Changes in: phytoplankton species composition and biomass; aquatic invertebrates; seagrass health and distribution; nutrient ratios; dissolved oxygen; trophic status

Table D-2. Sites used for estimating wet and dry deposition in Class I Areas (distance and direction, when noted, refer to the location of the monitoring site relative to the Class I area).
