“…Studies of this kind have most often dealt with coniferous species, including one or, at most, two deciduous species [2,3,12,19,33,38,46]. While nutrient concentrations in coniferous species, and Norway 490 A. Hagen-Thorn et al spruce in particular, have been extensively studied, European deciduous temperate forest species have received considerably less attention in this respect.…”

-Common European tree species (oak, ash, beech, birch, lime and spruce) planted in adjacent stands on six sites were compared in terms of macronutrient concentrations in foliar and stem wood (including bark) biomass. The nutrient concentrations in both biomass compartments were much more dependent on species than on site although soil conditions differed between the sites. Differences between species regarding stem wood nutrient concentrations only partly corresponded to the differences in species foliage. The concentrations in spruce were considerably lower than in deciduous species, except P in foliage, and Ca in both stem wood and foliar biomass. Differences were also observed between the deciduous species both regarding foliar and stem wood nutrient concentrations. The differences should be considered when modelling nutrient circulation in forest stands and when evaluating the long-term sustainability of forest management. nutrient / hardwood / Norway spruce / stemwood / foliage Résumé -Éléments minéraux dans le tronc et le feuillage : une étude comparative de six essences tempérées plantées sur les mêmes sites. Les essences européennes communes (chêne, frêne, hêtre, bouleau, tilleul et épicéa commun) plantées dans des parcelles adjacentes sur six sites ont été comparées en termes de concentrations en macro-éléments minéraux dans la biomasse foliaire et dans le tronc (écorce y compris). Ces concentrations dépendaient plus de l'espèce que du site, bien que les conditions de sol étaient différentes entre les sites. Les différences entre les espèces observées dans le bois de tige ne correspondaient que partiellement à celles observées dans le feuillage. L'épicéa commun était plus pauvre en éléments minéraux que les feuillus excepté concernant le P dans le feuillage, et le Ca dans le tronc ainsi que dans la biomasse foliaire. Des différences de concentrations minérales ont également été observées entre les espèces de feuillus dans le bois ainsi que dans le feuillage. Ces différences devraient être considérées pour la modélisation de la circulation des éléments minéraux dans les peuplements forestiers et dans l'évaluation des aménagements forestiers dans le cadre d'une gestion durable. nutriment / feuillu / épicéa commun / bois de tige / feuillage e

“…The decomposition of organic matter and release of nutrients from organic matter is influenced by a multitude of ecologic factors, such as soil characteristics (PERALA et al, 1982;RAULUND et al, 1995), structure of litterfall, especially complexity of compounds (connected to vegetation), nutrient content (STAAF and BERG, 1982;BOCKHEIM et al, 1991), C/N ratio (ABER et al, 1982), presence of interference in the ecosystem (FISCHER et al, 2000), and presence of pollutants. The greatest impact by far is that of the climate factors (CHAPIN et al, 2011), especially soil temperature and amount of precipitation, which affects soil humidity.…”

The forest soil can act as an important sink for CO 2 and in that respect also appears in the national Kyoto reports, where a distinction is made between carbon accumulated in litter and organic soil horizons and carbon accumulated in mineral soil layers. There is a multitude of dynamic models of organic carbon (C org ) change in the soil particularly due to different environmental and anthropogenic factors. The purpose of this paper is the Yasso07 model application on the "Brdo" plot, which is part of the ICP Forest Level II plots of Slovenia. The Yasso07 model describes the decomposition of organic matter in the forest soil by dividing litter inputs into different components with varying decomposition rates. Here, the temporal change of soil C org in various scenarios of future climate change (increase in air temperature, change in precipitation) was predicted. The difference between the measured amount and the model-predicted amount of C org in the soil for the current climate on the Brdo plot is 6.4 t C ha -1 (88.6 t C ha -1 measured vs. 95.0 t C ha -1 predicted). Taking into consideration the climate change scenarios for Slovenia, C org stock is expected to decrease in the future according to Yasso07 projections in all scenarios of climate change. The estimate of 100-year decrease of C org is the largest for scenario, when large increase of both temperature and precipitation is expected (18.2%) and smallest when small temperature increase and precipitation decrease are predicted (9.3%). Assuming stable litter input, larger influence on C org decrease was predicted for the temperature change compared to precipitation change. However, many uncertainties are included in model estimates ranging from litter input estimates, climate change uncertainties, climate-litter production feedbacks, starting value estimates, etc. The determination of the uncertainty of model calculations is a requirement for conducting simulations and their interpretation. key words: litter decomposition, litter components, soil carbon, model uncertainty, Slovenia IzvlečekGozdna tla lahko delujejo kot pomemben ponor za CO 2 in v zvezi s tem se pojavljajo tudi v nacionalnih poročilih Kjota, kot skladišče organskega ogljika organskega ogljika (C org ) v organskem in mineralnem delu tal. Obstaja množica dinamičnih modelov sprememb C org v tleh predvsem zaradi različnih okoljskih in antropogenih dejavnikov. Namen tega prispevka je uporaba modela Yasso07 na ploskvi "Brdo", ki je del ICP Forest ploskev intenzivnega spremljanja stanja gozdov. Model Yasso07 opisuje razgradnjo organskih snovi v gozdnih tleh z deljenjem vnosov opada v tla z različnimi stopnjami hitrosti razgradnje. V prispevku prikazujemo časovno spremembo zalog C org v tleh glede na različne scenarije prihodnjih podnebnih sprememb (povečanje temperature zraka, spremembe v padavinah). Razlika med izmerjeno vrednostjo in vrednostjo modela, napovedano za C org v tleh pri trenutnih razmerah na ploskvi Brdo, je 6,4 t C ha -1 (88,6 t C ha -1 merjeno proti 95,0 t C ha -1 napoveda...
