Quantifying macroinvertebrate structural and functional response to stream acidification and subsequent recovery in Shenandoah National Park

Acid rain alters freshwater pH and ion composition, preventing organisms from performing essential bodily functions causing mortality. Macroinvertebrate communities in acidified streams are characterized by species loss in response to physiological stress and altered food quality resulting from the...
