Sizeable net export of base cations from a Carpathian flysch catchment indicates their geogenic origin while the 26 Mg/ 24 Mg, 44 Ca/ 40 Ca and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope ratios in runoff are indistinguishable from atmospheric input

Nutrient imbalances may negatively affect the health status of forests exposed to multiple stress factors, including drought and bark beetle calamities. We studied the origin of base cations in runoff from a small Carpathian catchment underlain by base-poor flysch turbidites using magnesium (Mg), ca...
