 HESS - Abstract
Abstract: Major fluxes of sulphur and dissolved inorganic nitrogen were estimated in Central European mountain ecosystems of the Bohemian Forest (forest lakes) and Tatra Mountains (alpine lakes) over the industrial period.
In the 1990s, atmospheric inputs of sulphur decreased 80% and 50% in the Bohemian Forest and Tatra Mountains, respectively, and sulphur outputs exceeded inputs.
Higher sulphur accumulation in the forest soils has delayed (by several decades) recovery of forest lakes from acidification compared to alpine lakes.

In the spinning rooms the children of the settlers learned of their German Bohemian homeland, of the great misery in the early years, and many still today can relate the smallest details which were topics of discussion at such gatherings.
