How acids affect seed germination?

Seed germination is negatively affected by acid rain because of its (low) pH level and its direct chemical direct effects on the seed. Acid rain is a term to describe precipitation containing contaminants that alter the natural pH of the rain (normally a pH of 7). Contaminants can take the form of carbonic acid (HCO3) and has a pH that can vary between 5.8 and almost 7; a weak acid by most standards. Acid rain can also contain other "acidifying" elements such as Sulfur and Nitrogen which are more harmful. Acid rain can cause direct damage to exposed foliage (seeds included) as well as a longer term effects to the soil where concentrations can build up over time.
