Sycamore maple is expected to be an effective soil improver. This study presents a positive impact of pure sycamore on soil of nutrient-poorer Bystré plot. A mixture of sycamore and Douglas fir showed a worse function, i.e. less base cations in the forest floor layer. On the other hand, nutrient-rich plot of Uhřínov showed more basic cations below sycamore with Douglas fir compared to sycamore with larch. Forest-floor humus was lower in sycamore-Douglas fir mixtures in both research plots.

Keywords: afforestation, nutrient return, base cations, phosphorus
