“…Our suspicion is based on the fact that the foliar P concentration of fertilised spruces was not influenced by amphibolite in 2007 and dropped to the deficiency limit (Kuneš et al 2013b). Surprisingly, exchangeable K was the lowest in the planting holes of the fertilized trees (AMT-A) from all the sampling positions in both compared treatments, although the amphibolite powder contained K (Fig.…”

ABSTRACT:The article assesses the effects of amphibolite applied to the planting holes of spruces on the soil chemistry. The sampling was conducted fourteen growth seasons after the establishment of the experimental spruce plantation. In both treatments (control and amphibolite) the soil samples were taken from the interior of the planting holes as well as from the intact area around the planting holes. Fourteen growth seasons after application the effects of the pulverised amphibolite were not marked despite being detectable. In comparison with the control the soil in the planting holes of the amphibolite treatment showed significantly higher soil reaction, concentration of available phosphorus and partially also concentration of exchangeable Ca. All the significant effects of amphibolite were confined to the soil inside the planting holes. As for the evaluated chemical properties no significant undesirable effects of the amphibolite on soil chemistry were recorded.

Fertilization and liming began to be used in forestry at the beginning of the 20th century in order to increase growth, for improvement of health status or higher resistance to biotic and abiotic factors. The review summarizes results of 48 studies of forest fertilization, nutrition and liming published in scientific journals by authors of Department of Silviculture in Prague over the past more than 20 years. They deal mainly with monitoring of the effect of fertilization and liming applied during planting or shortly after planting of 18 tree species. Moreover, the results of fertilization in older stands are presented. Separate chapters deal with enhancing substrates (soil conditioners and phytohormones). All forest vegetation ranges are covered, from lowland forests to the subalpine belt of grass vegetation in 11 Natural Forest Areas. Forest fertilizing and liming proved beneficial according to most of the studies. The use of fertilizers can be detected in soils after decades. On the other hand, only in a minority of cases was fertilization reflected in the chemistry of the assimilation apparatus and other parts of the trees for a longer period. The main positive effect of fertilization and liming was increase of tree growth and foliation and decrease of mortality and yellowing symptoms. Inconsistent results were documented in some cases, especially for brassinosteroids and alginite compared to good results in slow release fertilizer done by spot-application. The type of product, concentration, time and method of application play an important role in the appropriate use of fertilization and liming.

Effects of air pollution and climatic factors on Norway spruce forests in the Orlické hory Mts. (Czech Republic), 1979–2014

The condition was evaluated of tissues of declining young spruce stands in selected localities of the Orlické hory Mts. It refers to stands occurring in top parts affected by an air pollution disaster in the last century. Several types of damage of a different symptomatic character were distinguished. A high NO x input appears to be the risk factor of spruce dieback in the Orlické hory Mts. One of the main causes in the complex of factors is the unbalanced cause of meteorological factors during the year and unbalance in mineral nutrition. The result is decrease in lignification, imma-turity of tissues before the winter period and increased susceptibility of damaged tissues to parasites. Several potentially pathogenic species of micromycetes have been identified which can be considered to be significant pathogenic agents in case of declining spruce in the Orlické hory Mts., however, not a main cause. Fytopatologické a histologické aspekty chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách M. ČERMÁK, M. MARTINKOVÁ, D. PALOVČÍKOVÁ, L. JANKOVSKÝ Lesnická a dřevařská fakulta, Mendelova zemědělská a lesnická univerzita v Brně, Brno, Česká republika ABSTRAKT: Hodnotili jsme stav pletiv chřadnoucích mladých smrčin na vybraných lokalitách Orlických hor. Jedná se o porosty ve vrcholových partiích, které byly postiženy imisně ekologickou kalamitou v minulém století. Bylo rozlišeno několik typů poškození s odlišným symptomatickým obrazem. Rizikovým faktorem chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách je vysoký vstup dusíku NO x. Za jednu z hlavních příčin v komplexu faktorů je možné označit nevyrovnaný průběh meteorolo-gických prvků během roku a disbalanci minerální výživy. Důsledkem je snížená lignifikace, nevyzrálost pletiv před zimním obdobím, zvýšená vnímavost poškozených pletiv vůči parazitickým organismům. Bylo identifikováno několik potenciálně patogenních druhů mikromycet, které mohou být považovány za významný patogenní agens v případě chřadnutí smrku v Orlických horách, nikoli však za hlavní příčinu.
