Some effects of 50 years of afforestation on soils in the Kirkton Glen, Balquhidder

Some effects of 50 years of afforestation on soils in the Kirkton Glen, Balquhidder

Six soil profiles in Kirkton and Monachyle glens have been compared, with the aim of detailing any changes in soil chemistry brought about by forest nutrient uptake. Poorly drained gley soils and freely drained podzol profiles at Kirkton under 50-year-old Scots pine and Sitka spruce, and under clear...

Zusammenfassung:Six soil profiles in Kirkton and Monachyle glens have been compared, with the aim of detailing any changes in soil chemistry brought about by forest nutrient uptake. Poorly drained gley soils and freely drained podzol profiles at Kirkton under 50-year-old Scots pine and Sitka spruce, and under clear-felled Sitka and European larch of the same age, were compared with their recently planted (P90) counterparts in Monachyle. Patterns of depletion or repletion of exchangeable cations can be explained in terms of soil hydrogeochemistry.
