    Notes: Abstract Since 1993 we are studying three Scots pine ecosystems along a deposition gradient in north-eastern Germany (formerly GDR). Dramatic reductions of pollutant emissions are reported for the period since 1989/90. S-deposition is high at the sites Roesa and Taura (25 kg S ha−1yr−1) compared to Neuglobsow. Inputs of basic cations, especially Ca, by alkaline dust immissions decrease in the order Roesa 〉 Taura 〉 Neuglobsow. The soil solution data show high concentrations of Ca and SO4 at Roesa decreasing drastically along the deposition gradient. The elevated pH values reflect the impact of alkaline dust deposition particularly in the organic surface layer at Roesa. The site Taura received less base cation deposition and is marked by the lowest pH values throughout the soil profile combined with increased Al concentrations in the solution of the mineral soil. Thus, the composition of the soil solutions clearly reflects the different deposition regimes of the past. The element budgets show that large amounts of base cations, sulfur, and, at Taura, also aluminum are actually released from the soils that were previously stored.

    Notes: Abstract Element budgets of a heavily damaged Norway spruce ecosystem at Hohe Matzen in the Fichtel Mountains/FRG were studied over 3 years. The trees show severe symptoms of decline and Mg deficiency. The soil is a typic Dystrochrept derived from granite with sandy texture, high stone content, and low base saturation. The budgets show high releases of N, S and Al from the ecosystem as a result of input, buffering and turnover processes. After an increase of proton fluxes in the organic surface layer, a strong reduction of protons in the B horizon was found. This process was accompanied by the release of Al, whereas reactive Al(OH)3 was exhausted in the A horizon. The low ANC is also shown in pH-stat.-titrations. The data indicate a strong mineralisation in the humus layer, which results in a net release of NH4, SO4 and TOC. Nitrification takes place mainly in the A horizon. With respect to the N-budget, the ecosystem is approaching the state of N saturation. The processes of N turnover lead to an internal proton production exceeding the atmospheric input, and thus contributing to soil acidification.
