Abstract:Mountainous areas represent regions with specific soil cover pattern that is naturally given by an altitudinal gradient. The objective of our study was to describe the soil cover development on the altitudinal gradient under changed environment given by man-planted vegetation and acidification. The studied area is characterized by spruce monoculture planting that replaced the original broadleaf natural vegetation and high load of anthropic acidification. The common hypothesis considering the sequence of Dystric Cambisol-Entic Podzol-Haplic Podzol with increasing altitude was not proved. The results of our study indicate that the influence of spruce vegetation causes the occurrence of Haplic Podzols at low altitudes where the natural soil formation does not induce their development. Results showed that the vegetation type can overrule other altitude-related soil-forming factors. The conversion of natural broadleaf and mixed forests to spruce monocultures leads to the expansion of podzolization process to lower altitudes.

We investigated the ectomycorrhizal communities on the roots of adult trees and seedlings associated with three Norway spruce stands in the Czech Republic using morphological and molecular tools. The stands had different degrees of forest decline due to air pollution. The aims of the study were to obtain information about the belowground ectomycorrhizal community in a heavily damaged spruce forest and to assess whether missing ectomycorrhizal fungal partners could be one of the reasons for the observed lack of regeneration. The ectomycorrhizal species richness on the roots of adult trees was significantly lower in the heavily damaged site Mumlavska hora than in the other two, but less drastically so than that found in a fruitbody survey. The roots of adult trees and seedlings were fully mycorrhizal at this site although they were less species-rich. The most abundant ectomycorrhizal species on the root system of adult trees in all three forest stands was Tylospora fibrillosa, a member of the athelioid clade. It made up over 60% of root tips in Mumlavska hora and its proportion was at least twice that in the other two sites. This species was also an efficient colonizer of roots from seedlings, in particular, in the most damaged site. The different soil properties in this site may have caused the observed differences in the ectomycorrhizal species richness and composition. For example, cation exchange capacity and soil base saturation were lower and the soil more often saturated. However, the number of living trees and their defoliation status may well directly impact the ectomycorrhizal species composition by presumably affecting the amount of carbon delivered to the symbiotic fungal partners. Athelioids and thelephoroids are an important component of the belowground ectomycorrhizal community in most temperate and boreal forests, but the role they play might even be more crucial in stressed forest ecosystems. Based on our results, we suggest that factors other than missing ectomycorrhizal inoculum constrain natural regeneration in the heavily damaged site Mumlavska hora.

“…Essa maior relação está bem relatada para pacotes quartzosos de ambientes hidromórficos em planícies costeiras dos trópicos (Farmer et al, 1983b;Gomes et al, 1998). Os ácidos orgânicos mobilizados a partir da superfície e deslocados com a água que percola no perfil (Buurman & van Reeuwijk, 1984) se polimerizariam a AH nos horizontes Bh (com a presença do lençol freático) (Holzhey et al, 1975;Bonifacio et al, 2006). O decréscimo da relação AH/AF do horizonte B mais superficial para o mais profundo ocorreu no perfil ESKo e em parte no perfil EKo.…”

“…A ocorrência de Espodossolos por vezes tira a floresta da condição de vegetação clímax, em um ambiente que mescla deficiência de fertilidade, água e oxigênio (Bonifacio et al, 2006). A deficiência de água e oxigênio no mesmo ambiente de solo está relacionada à textura mais arenosa nos horizontes superficiais e à camada endurecida e impermeável em subsuperfície, influenciando a elevação do lençol freático suspenso no período úmido.…”
