<h2 id="note">Note</h2> <ol><li>that a change in DOC or CO2 (or for that matter Aluminium solubility, but Aluminium solubility is not something that is easily controlled) does NOT have any effect on ANC.</li> <li>that once a pH-ANC relation for has been established for a lake the pH-ANC relation can be used to easily calculate the amount of limestone needed to raise lake pH to e.g. 5.5</li> <li>not all acid lakes are acid due to human influence since high DOC gives low pH.</li> <li>that the concentrations are multiplied with the charge of the species, hence the unit mol charge per liter</li></ol> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Stumm, Werner (1981).
