Changes of Atmospheric Chemistry and Effects on Forest Ecosystems A Roof Experiment without a Roof

This volume summarises the result of an interdisciplinary research programme entitled `Rehabilitation of the Atmosphere of the New States of Germany - Effects on Terrestrial Ecosystems'. Before the unification of Germany, emission loads of SO2 and dust particles were up to 18-fold higher in Eas...
