Tree species effects are amplified by clay content in acidic soils

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The tree species composition of many forests in western and central Europe has changed considerably over the last century, as large areas of mixed deciduous forests were replaced by conifer plantations. In this study, we aim to evaluate whether conversion of mixed broadleaved forest to Norway spruce (Picea abies) on the acidic soils of the Gaume forest (southern Belgium) affected soil quality in terms of soil acidity, exchangeable calcium and aluminium, humus type and earthworm communities, and determine whether this effect is mitigated or amplified by an edaphic gradient in clay content. In this ancient deciduous woodland, stands were partly converted from mixed deciduous forest to Norway spruce monocultures 30-60 years ago. A twin-plot setup was established, where we sampled pairs of adjacent deciduous and Norway spruce plots along a gradient in clay content varying between 3 and 34 percent. This design allowed to evaluate the effects of soil type and conversion independently. In the deciduous plot
