Soil chemical properties in pine plantations of different ages in the Eastern Escarpement region of South Africa
Bibliography: leaves 71-78. === It is widely accepted that afforestation adversely affects soil chemical properties. A significant decrease in pH, base cation status and acid neutralising capacity (ANC), coupled with increasing acidity have been observed to occur in acid coniferous forest soils both...
