| Popis: | Four gaps of 30 m diameter were cut in a mature European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forest in 1989. In two of the gaps and their surrounding areas, dolomite lime (3 t ha−1) was applied. The study was designed to examine the long-term effects of lime application and canopy removal on element input via throughfall and output in seepage water at 80 cm depth in this European beech forest. Throughfall and seepage water were collected in the unlimed gap center, the limed gap center and the undisturbed beech stand in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996 and 2012. The canopy opening increased the seepage water acidity from 1991 to 1996. The pH values of the seepage water were higher in the limed gaps than in the unlimed gaps during the five study periods. The amount of annual throughfall and of seepage water were higher in the gaps during the study period; in 2012, the annual amounts of seepage water were significantly higher in the gaps than in the closed stand, whereas the input of most elements decreased from 1991 t... |
