I am doing a lab for my high school biology 30, I need background information 
on this topic before I conduct this lab.  I cannot find any information on 
what the acid rain actually does to the seed, whether it stops the germination 
process.  How does the acid damage the seed? Can a plant seed affected by acid 
rain grow into a plant? How does the acid damgae the seed in the germination 
stage? I need this background information before i can make a prediction for 
my lab.
