How does the effect of acid rain on trees and soil affect us?
Acid rain can damage the crops that grow in the soil. Farmers need a lot of soil because they plant crops. After growing, farmers ship them to stores like Markets. If we didnt have enough food we would have more starving people and that would be bad. Acid rain dissolves aluminum ions from the soil making the trees defoliate and making them die. The humans will then have to pick up the dead trees and burn them creating more pollution. As we create more pollution we in turn make more acid rain. It is a deadly cycle that will never end until we take action. What happens when lakes and aquatic systems become acidic? Lakes that have been acidified cannot support the same variety of life as healthy lakes. As a lake becomes more acidic, crayfish and clam populations are the first to disappear, then various types of fish. Many types of plankton-minute organisms that form the basis of the lake’s food chain-are also affected. As fish stocks dwindle, so do populations of loons and other water bir
