Popis: Organic soil materials from a spruce forest were submitted to simulated rain of pH 2.6, 3.6, 4.6, and 5.6. Marked decreases in soil microbial activity were found only with pH 2.6 rain, but responsiveness to increasing temperature was lower as rain of greater acidity was applied to the soil. Ammonium nitrogen mineralization rates were not affected by treatment of soil with acidified precipitation.
