Areas having various susceptibilities to acid deposition from air pollution are designated on a three tier ranking in the region of the Southern Appalachian Assessment (SAA). The assessment is being conducted by Federal agencies that are members of the Southern Appalachian Man and Biosphere (SAMAB) Cooperative. Sensitivities to acid deposition, ranked high, medium, and low are assigned on the basis of bedrock compositions and their associated soils, and their capacities to neutralize acid precipitation. Purpose: To provide to the public online files for a acid deposition sensitivity of the Southern Appalachains.

Completeness_Report: Complete Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: SAA-ACID: Compiled from a digital map of the generalized geologic setting of the southern U.S. Appalachians (Peper and others, in preparation). This data source was compiled by J.D. Peper from a draft map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 from various federal, state, and academic geologic maps. SAA-ACID_BASE: (1) State boundary data was extracted from the Digital Chart of the World on CD-ROM (1994) in Vector Product Format (VPF) and converted to ARC/INFO using VPFIMPORT on a Sun workstation. This digital data product was produced by the Defense Mapping Agency to produce small scale mapping of global coverage (except Antarctica) based on the 1:1,000,000-scale Operational Navigation Charts (ONC series). (2) Southern Appalachian Assessment Area boundary was obtained from K.A. Hermann of the National Biological Service, Norris, TN (karl@utkux1.utk.edu).
