Title: Acidification and metal mobilization: effects of land use changes on Cd mobility
Abstract: Due to the actual EC agricultural policy, arable land is transformed to forest. Termination of liming will lead to a decrease in soil pH and an increase in soil organic matter and Dissolved Organic Carbon concentration. Both field measurements and model predictions indicate that the decrease in soil pH from near neutral values to ca. 3 to 4 takes place within 40 to 60 years after forestation. As a result of this, Cd solution concentrations increase with a factor 2 to 6 and leaching losses and/or plant uptake are expected to increase accordingly.
