Forest soils can act as both sinks and sources for atmospheric CO 2 and therefore have an important role in the global carbon cycle. Yet the controls on forest soil organic matter content (SOM) distribution at the scale of operational land management scales within forest types are rarely quantified in detail. To identify factors that influence the spatial distribution and accumulation of SOM...
The soils of adjacent first generation monospecific stands of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) in the Campine region, Belgium, apparently developed under the same forming factors, were studied for carbon dynamics to disentangle eventual different past land uses. In fact, visual observations suggested that the soil under pine experienced substantial addition of...
This study investigates the effect of predominant historical atmospheric depositions of fly ashes from brown coal power plants on physical properties of forest soils along a deposition gradient (0 to 33.9 km). Studies on physical properties of a pure fly ash show a sand dominated texture, high particle density, (macro-)porosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity as well as a slight water repellency...
Soil physical and chemical characteristics as well as climatic and geomorphological factors have been determined in 68 sites of a mountain calcimorphic ecosystem (Sierra María-Los Vélez Natural Park, Almería) in Southeastern Spain. Land use and vegetation were natural pine forest, evergreen oak forest, reforested pine forest of different ages, bush, juniper forest, and olive, almond and cereal crops...
