Hornung, M.. 1985 Acidification of soils by trees and forests. Soil Use and Management, 1 (1). 24-28. 10.1111/j.1475-2743.1985.tb00648.x
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract/Summary
The impact of isolated trees and natural forest vegetation on soil acidity is discussed. There is a considerable variation in impact between species on similar soils and between sites for any given species. The effect of coniferous plantations on soil acidity is reviewed and the causes of any increased acidity discussed. Crop species, initial soil conditions, silvicultural practices and the proportion of the tree removed at felling are all important factors influencing the long-term impact of plantations on soil acidity.
