Abstract
⺠We experimentally acidified a poorly and a well buffered stream in Costa Rica. ⺠The well buffered stream neutralized 745 µeq/L (96% of the acid added). ⺠The poorly buffered stream only neutralized 27.4 µeq/L (40% of the acid added). ⺠Protonation of HCO3- was the most important buffering mechanism in both streams. ⺠Macroinvertebrate drift increased in both streams in response to acidification.
