Popis: Mountain ponds in the northeastern US have undergone acidification and subsequent recovery due to changes in atmospheric deposition, and also reflect physical and biological responses to climate change. These ponds are distinct from other lakes and ponds in the region as they are higher in elevation, relatively small, and have little direct impact from human land use in their watersheds. They are vulnerable to the increases in extreme weather events, overall warming, and shortening of winter that are occurring throughout the northeastern US. We compiled data collected from 1978 to 2019 for mountain ponds >500 m elevation and
