Soil properties as indicators of treeline dynamics in relation to anthropogenic pressure and climate change

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Mountain forests, treeline ecotones included, provide numerous ecosystem services.nHowever, different drivers heavily impact the treeline areas, in particular anthropogenic pressurenand climate change. Any change affecting the aboveground portion of terrestrial ecosystems automaticallyninfluences their belowground part, i.e. soil and soil organisms. Therefore, the focus ofnthe present paper is on the soil resource that provides multiple ecosystem services, such as carbonnstorage, water filtration, food and biomass provisioning, biodiversity, maintenance, etc. Soil physical,nchemical, and biological properties can be very helpful as indicators of ecosystem services innmountain regions. A selection and integration of appropriate indicators of soil quality is thusnneeded for soil monitoring and assessment in treeline areas. In this paper, results of case studiesnfrom mountain regions in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Romania, and Slovakia are presented.nFrom these studies, it emerges that soil organic matter (content and quality), pH, andnmicrobial parameters show significant changes in response to anthropogenic pressures and/or climatenchange. These indicators of soil quality, either in the short- or in the long-term, can thus benused as reliable and sensitive tools for monitoring actions. However, it is advisable to integrate thisnbasic set with additional indicators that can be further selected in relation to specific conditions,nsuch as geographical area, lithological substrate, land use, and management practices.
