Abstract
The Gårdsjön Project is an ecosystem approach in studying acid deposition and its effects on terrestrial parts and lakes within a catchment. The study is an attempt to quantify the processes causing the acidification as well as an analyses of the chemical and biological conditions before liming of the lake and manipulations in microcatchments. This paper gives a brief overview of some studies already performed and recently started experiments within the project, such as lake liming, lime application on land, forest fertilization, clearcutting and applications of acid and neutral sulphate on land.
