Deforestation, environmental regulations related to water quality, storm water runoff, erosion control, air cleansing, etc. are reducing the amount of wood available for commercial uses. As a result, increased demand and a reduced cutting on some national forests have led to an increase in the wood fiber prices.

“Acid rain” is a broad term used to describe several ways that acids fall out of the atmosphere. A more precise term is acid deposition, which has two parts: wet and dry. Wet deposition refers to acidic rain, fog, and snow. Dry deposition refers to acidic gases and particles. About half of the acidity in the atmosphere falls back to earth through dry deposition. The wind blows these acidic particles and gases onto buildings, cars, homes, and trees. Dry deposited gases and particles can also be washed from trees and other surfaces by rainstorms and the runoff water adds those acids to the acid rain, making the combination more acidic than the falling rain alone.
