The objective of this study was to assess the influence of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) on the vertical distribution of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn in forest soil. Soil samples were taken from six beech- and six spruce-dominated mature (80-100-year-old) forest stands. In total, 420 composite soil samples were collected from the organic horizons, and at depths of 0-2, 2-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm in the mineral soil, of 84 plots in a hexagonal sampling design. A direct influence of forest type was confirmed for Zn, which showed increased soil accumulation under beech. In spruce stand soils, Zn is likely to have leached more due to lower pH levels. While a minor influence of tree species on the vertical distribution of Cd, Cu and Pb was also confirmed, particularly as regards accumulation in the F + H layer of spruce stands, the results suggest a more dominant effect of other site-specific conditions at the scale studied, such as topography and atmospheric deposition, despite homogenous forest stand conditions. Furthermore, the C:N ratio had a significant impact on both Cd and Cu content, regardless of forest type, highlighting the importance of specific site conditions for driving decomposition of organic matter, a primary factor affecting Cd and Cu mobility in soil.
