Damage to Plants for Landscaping by Acid Rain

Abstract

We investigated on damage to plants for landscaping by acid rain. We made some experiments on the damage to difference in hydrogen ion concentration of manmade acid rain, in the organs of plants and in the life stages of the leaves.
From the results, it is assumed that the leaves of trees and shurbs do not receive the damage visibly by acid rain in Japan. But, it is feared that the petals of some kinds of plants receive the damage by acid rain. So, investigations on plants susceptible to acid rain are necessary for the indication.
