It can directly damage them by breaking down their structure, and it makes the soil unable to provide essential nutrients.
Explanation:
Example: A virtual tree-graveyard of Norway spruce trees in Poland bears the scars of acid rain. Caused when rain droplets absorb air pollution like sulfur and nitrogen oxides, acid rain weakens trees by dissolving nutrients in the soil before plants can use them.
