- Notes:
- Site is north–northeast slope of a mountain. The experimental forest is 120 years old and is domi- nated by Norway spruce (Picea abies), with interspersed silver fir (Abies alba) and European beech (Fagus sylva- tica). The bedrock is at 30–80cm depth.
- Soilnotes:
- The soils are a mosaic of shallow Chromic Cambi- sols and Rendzic Leptosols. The bedrock is formed of dolomite. Soils are characterized by high carbonate content and have a near neutral pH and a high biolo- gical activity. Mull is the dominant humus form and the depth of the O layer does not exceed 3 cm. The A horizons reach 40cm in Rendzic Leptosols and 10–20cm in Chromic Cambisols. Root density is highest in the O and A horizons, and few roots are found as deep as 60 cm. A detailed description of the site is given in Herman et al. (2002).
