Abstract

The quantity and quality of litterfall in forests play an important role in their condition. Through it, a large part of the chemical elements are returned to the cycle of the ecosystem, it is an essential carbon depot, it affects regeneration, soil moisture, fertility, composition, fauna, and flora. The present study aims to evaluate the role of the litterfall as a depot of chemical elements. The total annual amount of elements returned to the beech forest ecosystem is 1264.97 kg.ha-1, of which macroelements are 1257.79 kg.ha-1, and microelements - are 7.19 kg.ha-1. The predominant elements are: carbon - about 80%, hydrogen - about 13%, nitrogen - 3%, and calcium - 2%. The remaining elements are represented in very small amounts – less than 1%. Microelements are presented in the following sequence: Mg >Mn >Fe >Zn >Pb >Cu.

山毛榉林凋落物的化学成分

森林凋落物的数量和质量对森林状况起着重要作用。通过它，大部分化学元素返回到生态系统的循环中，它是一个重要的碳库，它影响着再生、土壤水分、肥力、组成、动物和植物。本研究旨在评价凋落物作为化学元素库的作用。每年向山毛榉林生态系统返回的元素总量为1264.97 kg。Ha-1，其中巨量元素为1257.79 kg。Ha-1和微量元素-是7.19千克。主要元素是:碳约占80%，氢约占13%，氮约占3%，钙约占2%。剩下的元素数量非常少——不到1%。微量元素的排列顺序为:Mg >Mn >Fe >Zn >Pb >Cu。

期刊介绍： WSEAS Transactions on Environment and Development publishes original research papers relating to the studying of environmental sciences. We aim to bring important work to a wide international audience and therefore only publish papers of exceptional scientific value that advance our understanding of these particular areas. The research presented must transcend the limits of case studies, while both experimental and theoretical studies are accepted. It is a multi-disciplinary journal and therefore its content mirrors the diverse interests and approaches of scholars involved with sustainable development, climate change, natural hazards, renewable energy systems and related areas. We also welcome scholarly contributions from officials with government agencies, international agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
