Snow Water Acidity in Wyoming
Abstract
The knowledge of snow chemical characteristics is of interest to many
sciences. The acidity of snow water can explain the dissolution of
calcareous rocks and soils and snow can carry chemical elements to
soils on which it falls. A combination of these factors is important
for plant production.
Acidity of snow waters found in Wyoming's mountainous areas are compared
to results of measurements made by the Author in the French Alps in 1964
The study is based on observations made in Wyoming from December, 1965,
to May, 1966. Charts and tabular results are presented and discussed.
