Résumé
Sulphur emissions associated with increased anthropogenic activity, such as resource extraction and marine shipping, may lead to the acidification of aquatic freshwater systems in the Arctic. In the current study, acid sensitivity (based on a critical load (CL(Ac)) approach) of 1138 lakes and ponds in the Canadian Arctic was quantified using the Steady-State Water Chemistry (SSWC) model. Ecosystem protection was based on an Acid Neutralising Capacity limit (ANC
