“…On average, beech stemflow accounted for roughly 10% of total N input to the forest floor by precipitation. Despite similar current N throughfall fluxes, estimated historical N deposition to the spruce forest was higher compared with the beech stand [32], suggesting higher cumulative N deposition flux in the spruce plantation compared to the beech forest. Litterfall N flux was higher in the beech stand compared to the spruce stand; however, a lower C/N litterfall ratio was measured in the spruce litter (42) compared to beech litter (52).…”

“…Soils at both sites were acidified by acid deposition during the 20th century, which resulted in low soil pH and low base saturation. More substantial soil acidification was documented in the spruce stand due to the higher acid deposition under the spruce canopy compared to the beech stand [32]. In 2003, the pH of the forest floor was 3.80 in the spruce stand and 4.34 in the beech stand, and soil base saturation was 19% and 70% in the spruce and beech stands, respectively.…”

Abstract:We compared two adjacent mature forest ecosystem types (spruce vs. beech) to unravel the fate of assimilated carbon (C) and the cycling of organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) without the risk of the confounding influences of climatic and site differences when comparing different sites. The stock of C in biomass was higher (258 t·ha −1 ) in the older (150 years) beech stand compared to the younger (80 years) planted spruce stand (192 t·ha −1 ), whereas N biomass pools were comparable (1450 kg·ha −1 ). Significantly higher C and N soil pools were measured in the beech stand, both in forest floor and mineral soil. Cumulative annual CO 2 soil efflux was similar among stands, i.e., 9.87 t·ha −1 ·year −1 of C in the spruce stand and 9.01 t·ha −1 ·year −1 in the beech stand. Soil temperature explained 78% (Q 10 = 3.7) and 72% (Q 10 = 4.2) of variability in CO 2 soil efflux in the spruce and beech stand, respectively. However, the rather tight N cycle in the spruce stand prevented inorganic N losses, whereas losses were higher in the beech stand and were dominated by nitrate in the mineral soil. Our results highlighted the long-term consequences of forest management on C and N cycling.

“…Stemflow generated between condominant tree species may be highly affected by wind and the spatial variability of throughfall was also documented (Bouten et al, 1992;Keim et al, 2005;Holko, 2010Holko, , 2011. Concentrations of dissolved substances in throughfall and stemflow may be considerably different (Kantor, 1985;Raubuch et al, 1998;Oulehle and Hruška, 2005;Devlaeminck et al, 2005;. It was shown that the spatially distributed infiltration under the forest canopy caused a significantly variable water regime (Bouten et al, 1992;Raat et al, 2002;Liang et al, 2007Liang et al, , 2009Guswa and Spence, 2012;Guswa et al, 2012) and soil solution chemistry (Chang and Matzner, 2000).…”

Abstract:The aim of this study was to assess the impact of different vegetation on the distribution of rainfall (due to throughfall and stemflow), water regime, and Al and SO 4 2-leaching from forest soils. The water flow and Al and SO 4 2-transport were modeled using HYDRUS-1D. The study was performed at two elevation transects on the Paličník and Smědava Mountain in Jizera mountains. Podzols and Cambisols were prevailing soil units in this area. It was shown that the effect of the precipitation redistribution on water regime was considerable in the beech forest, while it was almost negligible in the spruce forest. Redistribution of precipitation under trees caused runoff (in one case), increased water discharge through the soil profile bottom, reduction of water storage in the soil, and thus reduction of root water uptake. Simulated Al leaching from the soil profile was determined mainly by the initial Al content in the soil profile bottom. Leaching of SO 4 2-was mainly determined by its initial content in the soil and to a lesser extent by redistributed precipitation and SO 4 2-deposition.

“…Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ ) and enhanced leaching of Al from soil may contribute to forest dieback [3,6,7]. Furthermore, dry deposition of acidic substances onto the canopy of coniferous spruce trees substantially increases acid inputs to the soil in comparison to the canopy of decidous beech [8]. Another important factor controlling the effects of acidic deposition on water quality is the bedrock type [9,10].…”

Aluminum (Al) chemistry was studied in soils and waters of two catchments covered by spruce (Picea abies) monocultures in the Czech Republic that represent geochemical endmembers of terrestrial and aquatic sensitivity to acidic deposition. The acid-sensitive Lysina catchment, underlain by granite, was compared to the acid-resistant Pluhův Bor catchment on serpentine. Organically-bound Al was the largest pool of reactive soil Al at both sites. Very
