Popis: This chapter is based on three years of hydrochemical monitoring at three different sites in an oak woodland ecosystem in the Netherlands. Atmospheric inputs, mainly dry deposited ammonium sulfate, are high, and amount to 2 to 3 kmol ha-1yr-1 of (NH4)2SO4. Intensive nitrification in the acidic soils (pH 3.5–4) is the main source of H+ ions in these soils, which in turn causes mobilization of Al3+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions.
