why does acid rain effect coniferous trees even though they like acidic soil?

Question

i want a logical answer that is fairly long?

Answer 1

Coniferous trees actually have a capacity to handle quite a range of pH rainwater. Being a little acidic does not hurt at all. The fanatic far-left have put a spin on this one, in a very non-scientific way.
The rainwater around large cities is quite acidic but the problems is the array of pollution that the conifers are subjected to that cause any stunting or other problems with the Pine-type trees.
You are dealing with textbook modern pseudo-science to say the low pH rain caused it--the rain just happens to be acidic because of the gross pollution factor that is the real culprit..

Answer 2

Because we acted to legally address acid rain, most importantly with the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act. We didn't sit around and look at a problem in those days, we had a congress that acted. Say thank you, Congress of 1989, for saving the American timber industry.

Answer 3

wellll...
up here in the smokies, the acid precipitate frees up the aluminum in the soil (normally bound in a form inaccessible to plants) making it toxic to conifers and firs, in addition to others.
it also weakens the trees making them suceptible to pests and diseases they normally would tolerate or resist.
