Abstract
In order to analyse the mechanisms by which acid deposition is acting in soils, and its effects on soil chemistry and stand nutrition, a set of field studies were initiated or extended in coniferous stands in the Vosges and the Ardennes. Sites were chosen according to several aims. First of all, because of the occurrence of forest decline, declining coniferous stands with Mg deficiencies were selected. As Mg uptake is age-dependent, we compared a young and a mature stand in the same location. We assessed the relative importance of site quality for a given deposition level by comparing rich and poor sites. Finally, the influence of deposition level was observed by using the highly polluted sites in the Ardennes as well as in Northern Bohemia as a comparison. The following results summarize the data obtained at these sites.
