Book Description
This report covers the experimental phase of an investigation on effect of deicing compounds on vegetation and water supplies. The investigations involving roadside and other environments coupled with laboratory and greenhouse research give data and interpretations on the influence of two deicing salts (sodium and calcium chlorides) on the chemical composition of soils and on the morphological and physiological effects of various woody plant species and grasses. Conclusion and applications concerning the findings are also included.
