Acid deposition has caused serious damage to the forests of China. In this paper, the quantification theory I is used to calculate the forest volume loss caused by acid disposition in seven provinces of south China. The results showed that contribution rates of acid deposition to forest volume loss in seven provinces of south China vary from 24.5% to 37.91%; the volume loss rates range from 7% to 20%. Total volume losses per year are 1.0145 x 106m3, of which Zhejiang Province is the greatest, totalling 3.841 x 105 m3, while Anhui Province is the least, amounting to 1.59 x 104 m3.
