Effects of Liming and N-Fertilization on Soil Chemistry, Biomass and Nutrient Content of Fine Roots in a Mature Beech Stand in the Solling Area (GERMANY)

  • Chapter
Responses of Forest Ecosystems to Environmental Changes

Abstract

The ecological consequences of high proton- and N-input into forest ecosystems have been reported frequently. Fertilization experiments enable one to simulate and amplify or to compensate for effects of atmospheric element input, for example soil acidification. Application of fertilizers induces soil chemical processes which might affect fine root groth and tree nutrition.
