This study is a continuation of earlier research aimed at determining the changes in the quality of precipitation beneath the canopy in pine stands affected by the emission of alkaline pollutants. This study was conducted in the Gorazdze Forest District, in a forest complex in south-western Poland affected by the cement and limestone industry. The rainwater measurements under the canopy of Scots pine were made according to the methodology of the environmental monitoring. Wet and dry deposits, thus the total pollution load brought into the forest ecosystem, were analysed. The pH and electrical conductivity was measured in collected water samples. The results showed differences between precipitation in winter (1.10–31.03 next year; fourth and first quarters), and in the growth season (during the second and third quarters – 1.04–30.09). Precipitation sampled beneath tree canopies in the winter half year had higher pH than those from the growth season half year (Table 2).
