The forest region of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids is of a specific character with a variability of factors forming the present forest ecosystems. In addition to the climate, parent rock and the method of management, an important role is being played by air-pollution. The Czech Republic has in general an unfavourable balance of protons in the forest ecosystems derived from the high inputs of SO4 2- (and NO3-) ions from the polluted atmosphere. The total potential acid depositions amount to 2.5-7.0 kmol H+.ha-1. year-1, which are values to markedly exceed the soil neutralization capacity. The goal of the project is to analyze main factors influencing the growth of young Norway spruce stands in the 2nd generation on sites situated at higher altitudes with podzolic soils of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, treated with different ways (intensities) of silvicultural measures and liming.
