“…These discussions led to numerous studies on the effects of overstory species composition on forest ecosystems. The existence of an overstory species effect on soils has been known for a long time (Dokuchaev, in [95]) and has been observed by many authors (e.g. [2,33,56]).…”

-The aim of the present work was to provide a synopsis of the scientific literature concerning the effects of different tree species on soil and to quantify the effect of common European temperate forest species on soil fertility. The scientific literature dealing with the tree species effect on soil has been reviewed. The composition of forest overstory has an impact on the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of soil. This impact was highest in the topsoil. Different tree species had significantly different effects on water balance and microclimate. The physical characteristics of soils also were modified depending on the overstory species, probably through modifications of the soil fauna. The rates of organic matter mineralization and nitrification seem to be dependent on tree species. A coniferous species, Picea abies, had negative input-output budgets for some nutrients, such as Ca and Mg. This species promoted a higher soil acidification and a decrease in pH. Thus, it should not be planted in very poor soils in areas affected by acidic atmospheric depositions. Nevertheless, the effect of the canopy species on soil fertility was rarely significant enough to promote forest decline. The impact of a tree species on soil fertility varied depending on the type of bedrock, climate and forest management.forest soils / tree species / fertility / sustainability / resiliency Résumé -Effet des principales essences des forêts tempérées sur la fertilité des sols. L'objectif de cet article est de fournir une synthèse bibliographique au sujet de l'effet des essences sur le sol, et, en particulier, de l'effet des principales essences utilisées en foresterie tempérée. La composition du couvert arboré a une influence importante sur les propriétés physiques, chimiques et biologiques du sol. Cet impact est le plus important dans les horizons superficiels. L'effet des essences se traduit au niveau du pédoclimat, modifiant fortement le bilan hydrique du sol. La modification des paramètres physiques est liée à l'activité biologique, elle même dépendant de nombreux paramètres chimiques et biochimiques. La dégradation de la matière organique (minéralisation) et la nitrification semblent dépendre des essences. L'épicéa commun conduit à une acidification substantielle du sol qui se traduit parfois au niveau du pH ; les bilans d'éléments nutritifs calculés pour cette essence sont le plus souvent négatifs pour des éléments tels Ca et Mg. Cette essence ne doit pas être introduite sur des sols trop pauvres ou affectés par des apports atmosphériques acidifiants. Il faut cependant insister sur le fait que le seul effet des essences n'est jamais tel qu'il puisse conduire au dépérissement des forêts. L'impact des essences sur la fertilité du sol dépend du type de sol, du climat et des aménagements forestiers (essences et traitement).sols forestiers / essences forestières / fertilité des sols / durabilité / résilience Ann.

Recent investigations of soils from widely distributed sites reveal the presence of clay minerals with 14/~ d spacings in the B horizons of podzolized soils in Alberta. The minerals appear to be concentrated in the 2.0-0.2 micron clay fraction, the fraction less than 0.2 micron being comprised primarily of material amorphous to X-ray. Despite the presence of montmorillonite in the eluvial horizon and soil parent material only interstratified minerals of this group appear in association with the 14 ~-mineral. Smaller amounts of quartz, kaolinite and illite are also noted in these B horizons.The data available reveal that the 14 A mineral is derived from montmorillonite and that formation occurs in situ in the B horizons.It is apparent from the investigations conducted that weathering of associated feldspars under mildly acid conditions, releases hydrated alumina ions. These ions not only move into the interlayer regions of montmorillonite of fine clay size, where they exist in a discontinuous manner, but are also adsorbed onto the surfaces of these minerals binding adjacent particles into aggregates of coarse clay size. Adsorbed hydrated alumina hydroxy ions in the interlayer region are responsible for the observed 14 A d spacings.

“…Jenny (1994, 148) states "from the viewpoint of soil formation, the most important classes of vegetation are forests, grasses, and desert shrubs. Jenny (1994, 141) quotes Joffe (1949), stating "without plants, no soil can form." However, it is highly debated among soil scientists as to whether organisms and vegetation actually contribute to the formation of soil (Jenny 1994, 141).…”

ABSTRACT. The project developed and trialed a method of mapping ecosystem functions in South East Queensland using biophysical data layers in preference to land use surrogates. Biophysical data and surrogates were identified for 19 ecosystem functions and maps were produced for each. Data layers for each ecosystem function were standardized for mapping purposes using existing expert advice or data quantiling. Two versions of the total ecosystem function overlap maps were also produced, showing areas of high ecosystem function that have the potential to contribute to high ecosystem service provision. This method was successfully used to replace land use surrogates in most cases, and produced maps that planners and decision makers considered credible. The mapping exercise allowed an ecosystem services framework (the SEQ Ecosystem Services Framework) to be embedded in a statutory planning document, used in a State of the Region Report and to influence planning decisions at a local government level.
