Modeling the biogeochemistry of sulfur in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stands of the Vienna Woods

摘要

Location of the investigated sites in Lower Austria and Vienna. Both sites share the bedrock Flysch (darker band area, crossing Northern Austria) and several other site characteristics. Both forest stands (squares) are located at upper hill slopes, close to the ridge, facing SE. Due to the sites’ microrelief, in combination with the immediate proximity to the urban area of Vienna, they are deemed very susceptible for pollution-enriched air flow from south to easterly directions. Weather information and SO data (diamonds) were obtained mainly from Jubiläumswarte and Hermannskogel
