Description :
This paper aims to identify the spatial distribution of exchangeable base cations in soils on an acid hillslope, (Quantock Hills, Somerset, UK), and to investigate possible cation release processes from slope soils to the stream. The basic assumption underlying this research is that the amount of exchangeable cations in soils reflects the nutrient stores and cation leaching processes across the slope where vegetation and parent materials are similar.
