Sažetak
Systematic and elaborate multidisciplinary researches of peduncled oak and common hornbeam begun in Croatia in 1991. and the method of monitoring deposition in forest ecosystems was worked out at that time. This method, which is closely related to ICP-Forest monitoring, has included several forest communities. The following ions were monitored: Cl-, SO4 2-S, NH4+-N, NO3-N, Na+, K+, Ca2+ , Mg 2+. Sampling was performed at 3-month intervals by means of funnels with openings minimum of 314cm2, and the amount of precipitation is measured in rain gauges with a surface opening of 60 cm2. Plastic lysimeters collected seepage at a depth of 10 cm or beneath the humus layer. The surface of the collector-tubs (baths) is 1093 cm2. Monitored plot were stablished in forest communities of beech and fir (Abieti-Fagetum illyricum/Ht.) submontanum beech (Homogino-alpine-Fagetum sylvaticae). Aleppo pine and evergreen oak (Querco ilicis-Pinetum halepensis), evergreen oak (Querco ilicis), and pedunculate oak and common hornbeam (Carpino-betuli Quercetum roboris). On experimental plots soil type was defined, and chemical and physical analyses of samples were conduced. Results showed that our forest ecosystems absorbed more deposited particles (wet and dry sedimentation) in comparison to control samples in the open area.
