Dynamic modelling of recovery from acidification of lakes in Killarney Park, Ontario, Canada
Article Abstract:
A lumped-parameter model is used to calculate the effects of acidic deposition levels on surface water chemistry for Ontario, Canada's Killarney Park lakes. Forecast scenarios generated by the model for different future deposition rates are analyzed, and show a great potential for water quality improvement.

Introduction to the Ambio special issue on biological recovery from acidification: Northern Lakes Recovery Study
Article Abstract:
An overview is presented on the methods and goals of the Northern Lakes Recovery Study, a joint Canadian/Norwegian research project that monitored and assessed water quality for lakes in Ontario's Killarney Park. Topics of research include phytoplankton, pH levels, benthic communities and chemical trends.

Developing conceptual frameworks for the recovery of aquatic biota from acidification
Article Abstract:
A model is presented to assess what is needed for biological recovery in lakes and what steps are required to meet those needs. This model is applied to the Northern Lakes Recovery Study, a joint Canadian/Norwegian project that monitored and assessed water quality in Ontario's Killarney Park lakes.
