The present study describes the effects of simulated acid rain (pH 2.5–5.6) on foliar histology of an arctic herb, Artemisia tilesii Ledeb., which is remarkably tolerant to naturally occurring atmospheric acidity at Smoking Hills, N.W.T. Plants were exposed to simulated acid rain twice weekly for 4...
