Temporal changes of soil characteristics on Litov spoil heap, Czech Republic
Original language description
This study aimed to examine the changes in selected soil properties at Litov spoil heap (Sokolov, Czech Republic) and compare the current situation with the situation described twenty years ago. A total of 110 soil samples were taken at Litov at the same sites as in 1998. The analyses of basic soil characteristics involved: exchangeable soil pH (pH KCl ), organic carbon content (C o x ), quality of humic substances (A 400/ A 600 ), exchangeable acidity (E a ), and two types of aluminium contents in the soil. Changes in all soil characteristics between 1998 and 2018 were statistically evaluated, compared, and visualized using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). We have observed an increase of pH KCl , C ox and a slight improvement in humus quality compared to the results from 1998. The temporal changes of soil characteristics were evident in the whole area, and the influence of reclamation methods was also pronounced. Soil development close to the regional common natural conditions was found in the area where agricultural reclamation measures (i.e., covering with topsoil) were carried out. Furthermore, afforestation - mainly by deciduous trees - supported the improvement of soil characteristics favourable for plant growth. High pyrite content and marshland were identified as the main causes that led to vegetation cover mortality.
