“…However, using simulations of pre‐industrial emissions and deposition, Fakhraei et al. () employed the biogeochemical model PnET‐BGC to simulate pre‐industrial lake NO 3 − concentrations. Using their estimates of past lake NO 3 − concentrations and current measurements of TP, we can speculate that perched seepage lakes were historically co‐limited by N and P (estimated ratio for NO 3 − :TP of 1.6), while drainage lakes were marginally P‐limited (estimated ratio for NO 3 − :TP of 6.4).…”

“…This region received high rates of acid deposition leading up to the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (Burns, Lynch, Cosby, Fenn, & Baron, ; Driscoll et al, ). When combined with inherently low buffering capacity (Jenkins, Roy, Driscoll, & Buerkett, ; Omernik & Powers, ), these high rates of deposition caused severe acidification of forest soil and surface waters in this region (Driscoll, Newton, Gubala, Baker, & Christensen, ; Fakhraei et al, ). Because the Adirondack Mountains are within a large, protected State park, land‐use change has been minor.…”

“…The model was run from 1850 through 2008 based on a combination of measured values of atmospheric deposition (from 1978 to 2008) extrapolated from detailed observations made at the intensive study site at Huntington Forest (43°58 0 N, 74°13 0 W) and reconstructions of historical deposition from emissions records following the approach described previously for PnET-BGC applications in the Adirondacks Chen et al 2004b;Zhai et al 2008;Fakhraei et al 2014). Regression analyses were conducted between measured annual NY20;1978 and emissions from the atmospheric source area for the Adirondacks (Zhai et al 2008;Fakhraei et al 2014). These regressions were used in conjunction with historical emission estimates (Nizich et al 1996) to reconstruct wet deposition for the period 1900-1978.…”

“…Previous studies have quantified TLs and CLs for ecosystems and regions, including the Adirondacks Zhou et al 2015;Fakhraei et al 2014). However few investigations have quantified how the biophysical characteristics of the landscape affect the response of lake-watersheds to decreases in atmospheric deposition.…”
