how does acid rain effect a plant?

Answer 1

its mild poison! can kill plants and ruin water supplies.

Acid rain occurs when sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are emitted into the atmosphere, undergo chemical transformations and are absorbed by water droplets in clouds.

Answer 2

Depends on the level of acidity and the plant. Some plants discolor, some plants die, some plants thrive. Ever notice plants in the highway median? They're constantly bombarded by a chemical haze due to pollution and they do very well... Plants are natural scrubbers of some of the environmental hazards that would kill or sicken people.

Answer 3

At first it doesnt.
What suffers first is the soil which the plant grew in.
As soon as the mineral consitancy and the bacteria/fungi get effected and start to change the plant falls into a state of "shock"
- its like digging it out and placing it elsewhere.
The leafes change color like in autumn and eventually fall off.
And if the "new" soil is not right for the plant it doesnt recover and dies off...

Answer 4

Changes the Ph of the dirt from neutral or base to acidic.

Answer 5

polution causes acid rain . so when it falls down , the poinsons kill the plants . it takes away the nutrions that makes the plants grow

Answer 6

it changes the PH of the soil and is bad for most plants. some plants would thrive from this!!

Answer 7

sulphric acid falls on buildiings made of calcium carbonate turning it to sulphur carbonate this sulphur carbonate can disolve from water in time causing the decay of the buildings+these acid cause the death of many plants affecting our natural income (what the hell am i saying ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Answer 8

kills the mitocandrian part of the cells (the food makers)

Answer 9

kills it
