Has anybody studied the impacts of forest (stand) development phases on SOM content and soil acidity in the European broadleaf forests (preferably beech, hornbeam-oak and oak-beech)?
I think the impact (negative and/or positive) on soil properties differs from a wood (broadleaf or resinous) to another, a forest species to another, a reforestation density to another, ...but most of a climatic region to another. So forest development phases on soil properties can not spin out of these parameters. However, for a well-managed forest, its development pahases can only play a positive role on organo-mineral soil development.
