摘要
A detailed investigation of the hydrochemical alteration of input water by vegetation and soils was undertaken in an upland catchment in the Cairngorm Mountain region of Scotland. The composition of catchment outflow water reflects the hydrological routing of water through different soil horizons and the importance of long residence time water. There is uptake of nitrogen and neutralization of incoming anthropogenic acidity by the vegetation, and sulphate adsorption in the mineral soils. Streamwater quality is dominated by the contribution of long residence time water, especially during base flow. Sulphate retention and cation release are the major neutralization mechanisms buffering outflow chemistry at this site. © 1990.
