There is growing concern in the UK that available base cation pools in soil are declining due to the combined effects of acid deposition and forest harvesting. To help inform the issue, elemental mass balances for calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg) and pot...
In Rhineland-Palatinate (Germany), a high percentage of the forest area is located on poor soils with low buffering capacity. Extensive liming applications were performed to compensate for the negative consequences of acid deposition. In 1988, three...
Our understanding of nutrient limitations to jack pine (Pinus banksiana Lamb.) growth is lacking across the Lake States of the USA (Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota), where this species makes up an important forest cover type on nutrient poor sands....
The hydrochemical characteristics and evolution mechanisms of groundwater are critical for accurately understanding the input–output budget of hydrochemical constituents in pristine groundwater. However, few studies have analyzed the changes in...
River water chemistry offers information on watershed weathering and responds to the global carbon cycle. Watershed weathering processes and water chemistry in stratified water are still unclear in Xiaojiang River, as a major tributary of the Three G...
A growing interest in using forest biomass for bioenergy generation may stimulate intensive harvesting scenarios in Germany. We calculated and compared nutrient exports of conventional stem only (SO), whole tree without needles (WT excl. needles), an...
Accurate estimate of carbonate weathering and the related carbon sink flux induced by anthropogenic H2SO4 is of great significance for improving understanding of the hydrogeochemical evolution and the global carbon cycle. Here, to quantitatively eval...
Considering water as a limiting factor for socio-economic development, especially in arid/semi-arid regions, both scientific communities and policymakers are interested in groundwater recharge-related data. India is fast moving toward a crisis of gro...
