Thank you DC Brown.  I will reach-out to local sources and conduct some experiments.

Cheers,
Matthew

Thank you S Bengi and Bryant RedHawk for the  responses!

I am attempting to replicate an acid in a rough estimate of ratios found in this zero horizon layer of the forest.  I then plan to assemble a much stronger % value in order to simulate a catalysed process of the calcite-vein dykes of eastern Ontario, which have been dissolving over time.  Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I would like to attempt various strengths and solutions and apply this to apaite and titanite minerals bound to calcite.

If anyone could hazard an estimate it would be a great working start for my task.  Even an example such as 2:1:1:0.5 ratio would be a lot of help.

Cheers,
Matthew

Good day,

I have a question concerning naturally forming forest acids.  I am hoping that someone might have a list based on percent of which acids are present in eastern Ontario, Canada forest soils.

I would settle for a the acid percentages found in Ontario pine trees, and/or elm trees, as this would help since the areas I'm looking into have many of these.

It seems to be difficult to find this info online, but from what I'm gathering thus far, the main acids are:  acetic, formic, malic, oxalic, but in what ratio seems very elusive;)

Thanks,
Matthew
