The paper presents the assessment of growth parameters and the impact of pure stands of Scots pine, European larch, common birch and black alder on the reaction and chemical properties of the initial soils developed on the reclaimed sand pit ‘Szczakowa’ (southern Poland). Pine, larch and birch stands were characterized by good growth parameters, which confirms high adaptability of these species to...
Black cherry (Prunus serotina) was planted in forests in Central Europe in the hope of producing valuable timber and after the first disappointments, in the hope of improving the soils of coniferous plantations. Nevertheless, an unequivocal evaluation of its effect on soil environment is still a controversial issue. The aim of this study was to determine a temporary fluctuation of selected soil properties...
The paper presents the result of the studies on the properties of soil organic matter in Sapric Histosols associated with mid−forest spring niches in the valley of the Kamienna Creek, left bank tributary of the Słupia River (northern Poland). We sampled five soil profiles at the depth of every 10 cm until the mineral bed was reached. We analyzed degree of peat mass decomposition, reaction and the...
In this study effects of burrowing by badgers and foxes on forest soil and vegetation were examined. Burrow digging resulted in increasing topsoil alkalinity and changing the availability of some nutrients. Soil disturbances supported higher diversity of herbaceous and woody plants, and favoured the occurrence of fugitive and nutrient demanding species. Badgers had stronger impact on soil and vegetation...
Chemical properties and fertility of soils were compared under spruce, mixed and beech stands in four types of forest habitat (mountain broadleaf forest, mountain mixed broadleaf forest, mountain mixed coniferous forest and mountain coniferous forest) in 373 sites of forest monitoring in the Stołowe Mountains National Park, SW Poland. Soils under the spruce stands had higher organic carbon pools in...
The paper presents fractional composition and optical properties of the soil organic matter (SOM) developed on afforested dumping ground of the sulphur strip mine in Piaseczno near Tarnobrzeg (southern Poland). Research was designed for different soil−substrates and trees species. Soil−substrate type has the major impact on SOM characteristics at current stage of soil development. Black alder characterized...
Presented investigations focused on spatial variability of forest soil pH on an example of luvisols derived from loess with underlier of marlstones. Four study plots were located in different parts of the slope. Marlstones, present deeper than 1 m under loess layer, had most significant influence on spatial variability of topsoil pH. Despite relatively thick separation from the surface, the marlstone...
W pracy przedstawiono wyniki dotyczące wpływu nawadniania podkoronowego i nawożenia mineralnego na odczyn gleby i zawartość wybranych makro-składników. Oba zastosowane zabiegi agrotechniczne różnicowały zawartość składników mineralnych w glebie, przyczyniając się do zmiany żyzności gleby. Zastosowane nawadnianie umożliwiało przemieszczanie się składników mineralnych w profilu glebowym, wysokie nawożenie...
W badaniach środowiskowych przeprowadzonych na Lubelszczyźnie w latach 1999-2008 wykonano oznaczenie odczynu jako podstawowego wskaźnika żyzności gleby. Stwierdzono, że 52,1% gleb bardzo kwaśnych i kwaśnych, 22,8% lekko kwaśnych i 25,1% obojętnych i zasadowych. Na powierzchni 47,2% gleb wapnowanie jest konieczne i potrzebne, na 13,0% wskazane, a na 39,8% ograniczone i zbędne. W latach 1999-2004 wystąpiła...
The research area is located in the Bytów District (NW Poland). The following analysis were performed: thickness of the humus horizon, reserves of humus, soil reaction, the acid and alkaline cations in soil adsorbtion complex and hulk density. The conducted researches revealed that the application of agricultural machinery caused erosion acceleration, particularly in the hilly areas. The deluvial...
When the agricultural utilization is stopped, secondary succession processes are initiated. Secondary succession comprise mostly of transformation in vegetation and soil properties. The examination conducted in Lubelska Upland (Krasnystaw area) on various types of land use: forest, agriculture and abandoned lands (for 5 and 20 years) involved indication of soil reaction, organic carbon content and...
