“…The latter effect in our study could have been occurring between 10 and 30 years of stand formation. For comparison, shelterwood harvesting had a short-term and relatively weak negative effect on soil nutrients, especially mineral N, compared to the effect of clear-cuttings (Marozas et al 2018).…”

consequently decreased with stand age. Higher SOC levels were in the mature stand. In the mineral topsoil layers, total SOC and total nitrogen were in the upper 10-cm layer in the 30-year-old stand. A post-harvest peak in mineral N concentration was observed and other nutrients, especially mobile P 2 O 5 , K 2 O, Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ , increased the clear-cuttings and in the 10-year-old stand compared to the mature stand. KeywordsPinus sylvestris • Species cover • Richness • Soil organic carbon • Soil nutrients • Mature stand Project funding The project was funded by Ph.D. project "Peculiarities of reforestation in clear cuttings of Scots pine stands on nutrient poor sites" (2017-2023), implemented by the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry.
