All communities of lakes and streams may be affected by acid deposition and associated phenomena. Neuston organisms inhabiting or living upon or beneath the surface film, are likely to be especially affected by atmospheric deposition in particular because many pollutants become concentrated near the surface. The first impact of acid deposition before and during neutralization, will also be felt there. 6, record 1, English, - atmospheric%20fallout

In order to predict the atmospheric concentrations of sulphur dioxide and sulphates down wind of source regions several phenomena must be quantitatively accounted for : 1. atmospheric transport and diffusion [;] 2. precipitation scavenging [;] 3. dry deposition at the earth's surface [;] 4. conversion of SO2 to sulphates. The simplest approach to solving this problem uses a "trajectory box model" with appropriate parameterization of items 2 to 4 above. This type of model has been applied in Europe and is presently being adopted to the North American scene by the Atmospheric Environment Service. 1, record 3, English, - trajectory%20box%20model

[Les sapins d'argile] se développent principalement sur les argiles plastiques temporairement immergées, mais à l'abri de tout courant. (...) L'eau ruisselant dans la grotte, ayant lessivé les masses argileuses et les parois, a décalcifié celles-ci et s'est chargée d'un limon très riche en carbonate qui, déposé dans les endroits calmes, se cristallise une fois le retrait des eaux opéré. En fait il s'agit plus de formations cristallines chargées d'argile que d'argile elle-même comme on pourrait le croire à première vue; c'est une tendance à la pétrification partielle d'un limon argileux. 1, record 4, French, - sapins%20d%27argile
