Predicting depth translocation of base cations after forest liming: results from long-term experiments

Soil Acidification in German Forest Soils

“…Liming generally increases Δ BS especially where a large reduction of base saturation occurs indicating an efficient mitigation of further soil acidification after liming. With regard to a different depth interval (0-90 cm) considered in this study, the effect size is comparable to the findings of Guckland et al (2012) for sites in northwest Germany, who found differences in base saturation of 20%, 5% and 3% for the depth intervals 0-10 cm, 10-20 cm and 20-40 cm of limed as compared to unlimed plots, respectively. A strong effect of organic layer carbon stocks on Ca and Mg retention and base saturation changes was also described by Guckland et al (2012).…”

A strong effect of organic layer carbon stocks on Ca and Mg retention and base saturation changes was also described by Guckland et al (2012). In summary, model results suggest that Δ BS is mainly dependent on the soil pools of basic substances at NFSI I, which is modified with respect to liming and soil organic matter status.…”

“…If the pool of exchangeable Al in 60-90 cm depth was higher than an equivalent of 3 to ha À1 of dolomitic lime, the respective NFSI plot was classified as acid sensitive (Höhle et al 2018). For 45 longterm liming trials in northwest Germany, Guckland et al (2012) found an 11% points increase of base saturation up to 40 cm depth. Unlimed plots of the NFSI II showed higher base saturation than limed plots in the subsoil (Fig.…”

Nutritional Status of Major Forest Tree Species in Germany

“…However, the applied P dosages stayed mostly undocumented, so their influence on foliar P content at NFSI II plots cannot be estimated. Results of other studies (von Wilpert 2003;Guckland et al 2011) have found no reaction of the foliar P content after liming. However, Kulhavý et al (2009) detected an increase of P in current-year needles of Norway spruce after liming, and Huber et al (2006) reported on lower P contents in 1-and 2-year-old needles of Norway spruce 20 years after liming.…”

Relación entre el pH y la disponibilidad de nutrientes para cacao en un entisol de la Amazonia colombiana

“…El pH del suelo presentó un comportamiento ascendente con el incremento de las dosis de los dos ME (figura 2d), de forma similar a los resultados reportados por Guckland et al (2012). Así mismo, el suelo presentó resistencia al cambio de pH, comportamiento propio de suelos con altos contenidos de arcillas, óxidos e hidróxidos de aluminio, hierro y manganeso, los cuales le confieren al suelo un fuerte poder buffer (He, Liu, Zhang, Wang, Shi, Corpoica Cienc Tecnol Agropecuaria, Mosquera (Colombia), 18(3):…”
