The history of mercury pollution near the Spolana chlor-alkali plant (Neratovice, Czech Republic) as recorded by Scots pine tree rings and other bioindicators.
TL;DR: Assessment of mercury (Hg) pollution recorded in the tree rings of Scots Pine near a Czech chlor-alkali plant operating since 1941 indicated some smearing of the signal due to lateral translocation of Hg from sapwood to heartwood.

TL;DR: It has been confirmed that the increased amounts of Zn, Cd and Pb in the soil are of the anthropogenic origin and it is possible to state that the soil in the park does not pose any health risks.

Soil variability through spatial scales in a permanently disturbed natural spruce-fir-beech forest
TL;DR: In this article, a 74.2-ha area within the Žofinský prales natural forest was evaluated for 1765 soil profiles inside 353 graticule plots.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed differences in Hg cycling and storage resulting from different vegetation at two adjacent forest stands - beech and spruce - and found that the Hg/C ratio increased with depth from 0.3 in the O-horizon to 3.8 in the C horizon of spruce soil.

Acidification of primeval forests in the Ukraine Carpathians: Vegetation and soil changes over six decades
TL;DR: In this paper, changes to vegetation and soil were assessed in primeval forests of the Eastern Carpathians after a period of 59-68 years by using multidimensional statistics and plant community characteristics (Shannon-Wiener index, equitability, fidelity, Ellenberg indication values, EIV); soil reaction and sorption complex properties were analyzed in soils.
