ResumoPublisher Summary During the period March to May 1990, the chemical composition of the humus layer, the mineral topsoil (0–30 cm), and the mineral subsoil (60–100 cm) has been determined for 150 forest stands. All stands were part of the national forest vitality inventory. They were all located on noncalcareous sandy soils. Tree species included were Scotch Pine, Black Pine, Douglas Fir, Norway Spruce, Japanese Larch, Oak, and Beech. Measurements for the humus layer and mineral topsoil included total contents of C, N, and P and exchangeable contents of H, Al, Fe, Ca, Mg, K, Na, and NH. Soil solution measurements in the mineral soil included the cations mentioned before and NO, SO, C1, HCO, and DOC. An important aim of the research was to assess the effect of deposition levels, tree species, and site characteristics on the level of A1 mobilization (acidification) and N accumulation (eutrophication) in the soil. Important characteristics of the chemical composition of the humus layer and mineral topsoil are presented.
