Forests may be more vulnerable to acid rain than previously thought.

Forests may be more vulnerable to acid rain than previously thought. In addition to wilting and destroying leaves and needles, acid rain leaches life-sustaining nutrients from topsoil in forests. In Germany, trees are already dying from magnesium deficiency due to acid rain's leaching effects.

The impacts will also affect birds and other species dependent on the nutrient-depleted trees.
