The Acid Rain National Early Warning System (ARNEWS) was one of Canada's national forest health monitoring programs. Established in 1984, ARNEWS was to "monitor the condition and changes in the condition of the forest in order to detect early signs of acid rain damage". The program as always extended beyond its original intent of an acid rain monitoring system to encompass a role in forest health and biomonitoring. In recognition of this, the original network of some 100 plots across Canada was expanded to 169 plots in 1991.

OBS

Établi en 1984, le Dispositif national d'alerte rapide pour les pluies acides (DNARPA) était l'un des programmes canadiens de surveillance de la santé des forêts. Il visait à surveiller l'état et l'évolution de la santé des forêts afin de détecter les premiers signes de dégâts causés par les pluies acides. Le DNARPA a toujours dépassé le cadre de son mandat original pour englober la santé des forêts et la surveillance biologique. En 1991, par conséquent, le DNARPA comportait 169 parcelles situées au quatre coins du Canada, alors qu'à l'origine, il n'en comptait qu'une centaine.
