In harmony with requirements of Water Framework Directive the natural backgrounds of selected metals were established on the territory of Czech Republic. This paper is intended to provide characteristics and results of testing methods focused on quantification of the impacts of anthropogenic activities based on data of regional monitoring and their separation from acid atmospheric deposition including an appropriate discussion regarding the natural backgrounds of relevant metals. The results indicate that even in regions extremely affected by acid atmospheric deposition as is the territory of the Czech Republic this acid deposition will not have direct impact on the quality of ground waters on a regional scale. Consequently, the proved changes in quality of ground waters seem to have been caused by secondary processes, specifically by mobilization of metals in a rock environment due to increased acidity.

“…These outcomes were complemented by results from the adjacent Krkono se (Giant) Mountains (GPS: 50843 0 N, 15837 0 E) and the Kru sn e hory (Ore) Mountains (GPS: 50829 0 N, 13811 0 E). All of these mountains belong to the former Black Triangle region (Hrkal et al 2012;Křeček and Hořická 2001). When preparing and optimizing the diversification strategy, we considered the published scientific data on European beech and sycamore maple (Balcar and Podrázský 1995;Balcar and Kacálek 2008a;Balcar et al 2011;Špulák 2011), silver fir (Balcar and Kacálek 2008b), mountain elm (Balcar et al 2009), birches (Balcar 2001;Kune s et al 2007), rowan (Podrázský and Moravčík 1992 An important topic was the soil chemistry and the application of basic amendments to counteract the soil acidity, replenish the most lacking nutrients, and provide some initial support to the forest plantations.…”

Long-term influence of applied amphibolite powder on the chemistry of soil supporting Norway spruce plantation

2014

ABSTRACT:The article assesses the effects of amphibolite applied to the planting holes of spruces on the soil chemistry. The sampling was conducted fourteen growth seasons after the establishment of the experimental spruce plantation. In both treatments (control and amphibolite) the soil samples were taken from the interior of the planting holes as well as from the intact area around the planting holes. Fourteen growth seasons after application the effects of the pulverised amphibolite were not marked despite being detectable. In comparison with the control the soil in the planting holes of the amphibolite treatment showed significantly higher soil reaction, concentration of available phosphorus and partially also concentration of exchangeable Ca. All the significant effects of amphibolite were confined to the soil inside the planting holes. As for the evaluated chemical properties no significant undesirable effects of the amphibolite on soil chemistry were recorded.
