Tree species traits cause divergence in soil acidification during four decades of postagricultural forest development (2012, background): “Indeed, several studies have reported significant soil acidification rates in postagricultural forests (e.g. Markewitz et al., 1998; Ritter et al., 2003; Berthrong et al., 2009).”
The effect of afforestation with Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) of sandy post-arable soils on their selected properties. I. Physical and sorptive properties (2008, result): “This is consistent with the observations of Ritter et al. (2003) who found in chronosequence studies (stands 1–30 years old) that the bulk density at the afforested soils was higher than in the 200-year-old mixed forest and pasture, and that is also consistent with the statements of Maciaszek and…”
The effect of afforestation with Scots pine (Pinus silvestris L.) of sandy post-arable soils on their selected properties. II. Reaction, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus (2008, background): “Ritter et al. (2003) found no significant changes in N concentrations and storage in the 0–15 cm depth with increasing stand age, but a tendency towards decreased N at soil depths below 15 cm.”
