Best Answer

Acidification is the process of being converted into an acid of or becoming acid. The process by which water bodies, such as rivers and lakes, and other natural features become affected by excess acid can also be described as acidification.

How does ocean acidification affect bottlenosed dolphins?

It is not certain what the effect ocean acidification has on dolphins, though it is suspected that it could lead to them being deafened. It could also lead to them having a shortage of food, as all marine life especially fish are effected by ocean acidification.

How does acid rain affect the Canadian Boreal forest ecosystem?

There are few known facts about acid rain's impact on boreal forests than on other more accessible areas/ the problems of soil acidification are present but this is somewhat mitigated by the natural acidification caused by the decomposition of the needles of the conifers in the forest. The lakes and streams can have depressed pH levels beyond the levels of natural acidification. this would cause the increase of minerals in the water, changes in fish and benthic organism and the increased clarity of lake waters due to algae reduction.
