Abstract
Descriptive and experimental studies on the ground vegetation of conif erous forests in Bavaria indicated the following phenomena: a. In N-li mited pine forests recent eutrophication effects occur. b. The structu re of the moss layer in coniferous forests sensitively reacts to very acid throughfall water (pH < 3.2). c. Oxalis acetosella is a forest he rb with a relatively high Ca-demand for optimum growth and is thusly s ensitive to distinct acid-rain-caused Ca-losses in the top soil, or in hibition of Ca-uptake.
