Base cation dynamics in rainfall, throughfall, litterflow and soil solution under Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) trees in northern Iran

Abstract: & Key message Fluxes of base cations were studied in an Oriental beech forest and an adjacent forest gap. The fluxes of base cations in throughfall, litterflow, topsoil and subsoil solution were higher in a mixed Oriental beech forest compared to the fluxes in rainfall and topsoil and subsoil solution in the forest gap. A large proportion of cations were adsorbed or biologically immobilised by passing through the litter layer in the forest. In the mineral topsoil, a new equilibrium between the solid phase and … Show more

“…6). Similar results were also found in artificial plantation (Acacia mangium and Dimocarpus longan) of South China (Shen et al, 2013), in Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis Lipsky) trees in Northern Iran (Moslehi et al, 2019), indicating strong K + leaching from canopy. Even so, throughfall was generally characterized with high fluxes compared to open rainfall followed by stemflow, it thus is the largest contributor to wet deposition.…”

“…Potassium leaching is not restricted to pod husks in a cocoa plantation, but also occurs from canopies in forest environments (Moslehi et al 2019). Rain droplets collected at the forest floor contain 10-40 times more K than rain droplets above the canopy (McDowell et al 2020).…”

“…Dicranopteris litter are known to resist decomposition (Vitousek et al, 1994), thus influencing the edaphic characteristics via litter turnover and its quality. The litter layer is biologically the most active, thus a significant fraction of cations can be immobilized when passing through the litter layer (Moslehi, 2010;Shabani, 2013;Moslehi et al, 2019). However, due to the high recalcitrant nature of the fern litter, the immobilization ability is less in the litter layer allowing cations to freely leach into the mineral soil layer.…”
