As part of the Eastern Lake Survey in U.S.A. (see preceding abstracts), a study was carried out on 252 selected lakes in the southern Blue Ridge province (Southern Appalachians) and Fla., to quantify the number of acidic lakes and lakes with low acid-neutralizing capacity. None of the lakes in the southern Blue Ridge were acidic and only 1.4 per cent had low acid-neutralizing capacity. By contrast, 22 per cent of the lakes in Fla., were acidic and 35.3 per cent had a low acid-neutralizing capacity. The southern Blue Ridge lakes showed a high degree of chemical homogeneity, while lakes in Fla., were chemically heterogeneous, indicating that these 2 areas should be regarded as distinct regions.
