“…The profound effect of the Vitality treatment in increasing the pools of exchangeable base cations and decreasing Al concentrations agrees well with the findings of Frank and Stuanes (2003). They applied similar doses of dolomite + fertiliser to a 33-year-old Scots pine stand in southern Norway and observed increased exchangeable base cation pools in the humus layer due to the Mg and Ca applied, but not to K. Since the organic layer possibly contained undissolved remains of the Vitality fertiliser that could not be removed from the samples prior to analysis, the additional dissolution of these remaining granules during the extraction might have overestimated the effect of Vitality.…”

A growing demand for bioenergy from conventional forestry in Sweden will increase the need of nutrient compensation, that preferably should be made relatively shortly after harvesting and have no undesired side-effects. This study compared the effects of granulated wood ash (Ash), N-free, dolomite-based fertiliser (Vitality) and the green fraction of harvest residues (Residues) on the podsolic soil and soil solution of a young Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) stand in SW Sweden. The treatments were applied three years after clear-felling and whole-tree harvesting. The soil solution was repeatedly sampled in the rooting zone 2-5 years after treatment. The soil study was performed 4 years after the Ash treatment and 3 years after Residues treatment and the last Vitality treatment (the Vitality treatment was applied on two occasions over 2 years). The Vitality treatment increased base saturation and effective CEC in the humus layer in relation to the other treatments, and also increased Ca and K concentrations in the soil solution. The Ash treatment resulted in higher exchangeable K concentration than Vitality in the litter layer, and Residues increased K concentrations in the soil water. No treatment influenced the KCl-exchangeable nitrate concentrations in the soil or the nitrate levels in the soil water. The results indicate that granulated wood ash could be used for long-term nutrient compensation without undesired short-term side-effects.

“…Despite a longer period since the limestone application and a comparatively small supplied quantity (at a particular number of transplants, 80 g to each transplant would correspond to a dose of 320 kg·ha -1 ), liming was efficient. Consistent results were also confirmed by other authors (Podrázský 1992(Podrázský , 1993aJönsson 2000;Frank, Stuanes 2003). When conducting this research, Al 3+ was reduced by 25%; this fact corresponds to the results of other authors (Juncker 1995).…”

“…Large-scale liming was applied especially in the 1980s, and in some regions also in the following decades (the extent is not clearly recorded). The short-term, but also long-term effects on the soil environment were described (Frank, Stuanes 2003;Podrázský, Ulbrichová 2003;Šrámek et al 2003;Borůvka et al 2005).…”

Sci., 63: 331-338.The current revitalization of forest ecosystems in the Krušné Hory Mts. is carried out through: (i) spreading line windrows, (ii) chemical amelioration. The aim of this research consisted in: (i) assessing basic pedochemical characteristics of spread windrows, (ii) testing the effect of slow-release fertilizers from the Silvamix ® series and dolomitic limestone on the root ball zone soil five years after application. The results of this study suggest that spread windrows are a suitable environment for forest species: with the only risk being extremely low P concentrations.

“…direct input of Ca and Mg in forest soils) proves to be efficient to restore tree mineral nutrition, and induces drastic and long-term changes in soil structure and chemical properties (Kreutzer, 1995). Calcareous amendments reduce the acidity of upper soil layers, increase cation exchange capacity and soil base saturation, especially in humus layers (Frank and Stuanes, 2003;Kreutzer, 1995;Renaud et al, 2000), and stimulates soil fauna (particularly earthworms) (Persson, 1988). Liming could also shift the humus type from mor to mull (Kreutzer, 1995).…”

Abstract• Liming is a forestry practice used to counteract forest decline in acidic soils. It consists of direct Ca and Mg input to forest soil, which restores tree mineral nutrition, but also modifies microbial communities in soil. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of liming on both belowground (ectomycorrhizal root tips) and aboveground (epigeous sporocarps) fungal communities.• Results showed that the modification of soil chemical properties (pH, and Ca-Mg contents versus total free Al and Fe concentrations) was a stronger factor of ECM community structuring than tree host. The species appearing in limed plots were ubiquist or known as good competitors and replaced acidophilic and stress species.• At the sporocarp level, tree host was a stronger factor of community structuring than soil chemical properties associated with liming. On the whole, there was a shift in the community composition from a typical acidophilic forest fungal community of medium altitude in the untreated plots to a less typical one, with the reduced dominance of acidophilic fungi while many late-stage forest species appeared.• We finally suggest a marker species (Russula ochroleuca) to assess both above and belowground effects of liming on ectomycorrhizal communities. Mots-clés : mycorhize / management des écosystèmesRésumé -Le chaulage forestier influence durablement les communautés d'ectomycorrhizes et de carpophores épigés.• Le chaulage est une pratique forestière utilisée pour restaurer la nutrition minérale des arbres apparaissant sur sol acide. Il consiste en un apport direct de Ca et Mg au sol forestier, ce qui restaure la nutrition minérale de l'arbre, mais aussi modifie les communautés microbiennes du sol. Cette étude évalue les effets du chaulage sur les communautés fongiques hypogées (apex ectomycorrhiziens : « ECM ») et épigées (carpophores).• Les résultats montrent que la modification des des propriétés chimiques du sol (pH et concentrations en Ca-Mg échangeables versus concentrations en Al et Fe échangeables) est un facteur de structuration de la communauté d'ECMs plus fort que l'arbre hôte. Les espèces qui sont apparues dans les placeaux chaulés sont ubiquistes ou compétitrices et ont remplacé des espèces acidophiles ou connues pour être associées à des conditions de stress.• Concernant les carpophores, l'arbre hôte est un facteur de structuration de la communauté plus fort que les propriétés chimiques du sol associées au chaulage. Dans l'ensemble, on a observé une modification de la communauté fongique, passant d'une communauté typique de forêt acide de moyenne altitude dans les placeaux témoins vers une autre moins spécifique, caractérisée par une moindre dominance d'espèces acidophiles et l'apparition de nombreuses espèces de forêt mature.• Nous suggérons enfin une espèce marqueur (Russula ochroleuca) qui permet d'évaluer facilement les effets du chaulage sur les communautés de champignons mycorrhiziens, aussi bien du point de vue des apex mycorrhiziens que des carpophores.
