Effects of Low pH Conditions on Aquatic Systems | Environment

The effects of low pH conditions—or high acidity—must be studied from a vari­ety of perspectives. As an aquatic environment experiences a decrease in the pH, a general trend of deterioration is observed. This results in a host of progressive bio­logical effects from outright death (Figure 10.2) through a variety of reproductive and behavioral impacts. Additionally, changes in pH also can [...]
