Acidic forest soils with two dominant understories, bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) or alpine lady fern (Athyrium distentifolium Tausch ex Opiz), have been investigated to evaluate the influence of the understory on sorption properties and aluminium behaviour. We investigated acidity, cation exchange properties, organic matter content (SOM) and quality as well as Al bonding to organic matter in...
The effect of the understory vegetation in the spruce forests of the upper montane belt on soil properties was investigated. Three types of understory vegetation were included: dominant Alpine lady fern, dominant bilberry or a mix of the two species. All studied soils were derived from sandstone, had acidic soil reactions, were located under similar physiographic conditions and have been populated...
The impact of different geographical regions (Silesian Foothills, region 1 and Mały Beskids, region 2), and method of soil use (arable field and grassland) on the main soil properties and biological activity was studied. Earthworm biomass, density and diversity, as well as dehydrogenase activity, were analysed. Significant soil physical and chemical properties were more affected by regions, whereas...
Organic carbon stocks (SOCs) were determined in 14 pedons of the Little and Silesian Beskids (7 from each one: arable land and grassland) and compared with the C-stocks occurring in the soils of Ciężkowickie and Silesian Foothills. They were similar to SOCs in the soils of the Silesian Foothills, but significantly higher than in the soils of the Ciężkowickie Foothills. The participation of SOCs 0–30...
