Recovery from Acidification in Central Europe ? Observed and Predicted Changes of Soil and Streamwater Chemistry in the Lysina catchment, Czech Republic

Original language description

The geochemical model MAGIC was applied to estimate streamwater and soil chemistry between 1851-2030 at the Lysina catchment, an acid-sensitive granitic catchment covered by planted Norway spruce monoculture in the western Czech Republic. Although SO2 emissions in the region declined by 90% compared to the 1980´ s, acidification recovery was small within the period 1990-2000. Stream pH increased only slightly (from 3.92 to 4.07), although SO4 concentration declined sharply. According to the MAGIC prediction using deposition measured in 1999-2000, streamwater pH will increase to 4.3 and soil base saturation to 6.2% by 2030 (from 5.7% in 2002). Pre-industrial pH was estimated to be 5.5 and soil base saturation 24.7%. Intensive forestry was responsible for approximately one third of the net base cation loss via accumulation in harvested biomass. Severely damaged sites, under pressure from forestry, will not return to a good environmental status in the near future.
