Altitude and Forest Type Effects on Soils in the Jizera Mountains Region

Original language description

This paper is focused on the Jizera Mountains as a region strongly influenced by man in the past. The structure of the natural forest was changed. Species monocultures with similar tree ages were planted. High acidificants concentrations in atmosphere led to the decline of these monoculture forests in the top parts of the mountains adnd the high acidificatns deposition damaged the soils in the whole region. The goals of this study are to describe the distribution of the soil properties in altitude transects, where temperature, precipitation, and vegetation gradients are recorded, and to compare thesoil properties in spruce and beech forests. The soil samples were collected from soil pits in a surviving nature - close beech forest, in a production spruce forest, and also in the top dead forest area with a grass cover. Soil samples from sufficiently deep diagnostic horizons were taken for study of chemical properties. The basic soil characterisitcs were determined by the commonly used me
