This volume summarises and assesses the results of a multidisciplinary research programme on forest decline and air pollution (DEFORPA) and a few additional projects carried out in France. It provides easy access to the most relevant data on forest decline and surface water acidification published in France and a balanced view on the relative importance of acidic deposition and other natural (climatic anomalies) and anthropogenic (silviculture) factors in forest decline.
