description: In this paper, we calculate the semileptonic decays $D\to K_0^\ast(1430)\ellν_{\ell}$ with $\ell=(e,μ)$ induced by $c\to s\ellν_{\ell}$ transition. For the key component, $D\to K_0^\ast(1430)$ transition form factors (TFFs) $f_{\pm}(q^2)$ are calculated within the framework of QCD light cone sum rule. Then, we consider two scenarios for $K_0^\ast(1430)$-meson twist-2 distribution amplitude. For the scenario 1 (S1), we take the truncated form based on Gegenbauer polynomial series. Meanwhile, we also consider the scenario 2 (S2) constructed by light cone harmonic oscillator model, where the model parameters are fixed by the $K_0^\ast(1430)$-meson twist-2 distribution amplitude tenth-order $ξ$ moments calculated by using the background field theory. For the TFFs at a large recoil point, we have $f_+^{\rm (S1)}(0)=0.597^{+0.122}_{-0.121}$ and $f_-^{\rm (S1)}(0)=-0.136^{+0.023}_{-0.035}$, $f_+^{\rm (S2)}(0)= 0.663^{+0.135}_{-0.134}$, and $f_-^{\rm (S2)}(0)=-0.202^{+0.026}_{-0.046}$. After extrapolating TFFs to the whole physical $q^2$ region, we calculate the branching fractions of $D^0\to K_0^{\ast +}(1430)\ell^-\barν_\ell$ and $D^+\to K_0^{\ast 0}(1430)\ell^+ν_\ell$, which at $10^{-4}$-order level for the S1 and S2 cases. Meanwhile, we predict the CKM matrix $|V_{cs}|^{\rm (S1)}=0.973^{+0.259}_{-0.183}, |V_{cs}|^{\rm (S2)}=0.880^{+0.234}_{-0.165}$, and lepton flavor universality $\mathcal{R}^{\rm (S1)}_{K_0^*}=0.768^{+0.560}_{-0.368}, \mathcal{R}_{K_0^*}^{\rm (S2)}=0.764^{+0.555}_{-0.365}$. Finally, we discuss the angular observables of forward-backward asymmetries, lepton polarization asymmetries, and $q^2$-differential flat terms for this decay.

Aerosol dynamical model MULTIMONO
Creators: name: Pirjola, L.
name: Kulmala, M.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2000

description: We have developed two effective aerosol dynamical models MULTIMONO and MONO32. The models take into account gas-phase chemistry and aerosol dynamics and includes the following processes: (1) emissions of gases and particles; (2) chemical reactions in the gas phase; (3) dry deposition of gases and particles; (4) homogeneous binary H2SO4-H2O or ternary H2SO4-H2O-NH3 nucleation; (5) multicomponent condensation of H2SO4, H2O, HNO3, NH3 and some organic vapour X onto particles; and (6) inter- and intramode coagulation of particles. The particles can be classified into four different size modes which are monodisperse (all particles in a mode possess the same size and composition). In these models the different aerosol properties, such as the particle number concentration, the particle diameter, the mass and composition of the whole distribution, and the mass of particulate matter smaller than 2.5 µm (PM2.5) and smaller than 10 µm (PM10) can be studied. Particles can include soluble material such as sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, and sodium chloride, as well as insoluble material such as organic carbon, elemental carbon, and mineral dust. We have chosen five different particle classes for each size mode (MULTIMONO), or assumed internally-mixed particles (MONO32). The developed models have been compared with a more detailed sectional model AEROFOR2. The comparison shows that the developed models are physically sound. The performed model runs show that the composition of aerosol particles depends mainly on emissions and condensation. Coagulation seems to be of minor importance. The state of mixing can be studied effectively using MULTIMONO or MONO32. E.g. the degree of internal mixing depends on the condensation rate and condensation time. The developed models can be used as sub-models in one-dimensional boundary layer models and three-dimensional Eulerian models.
A Time-Inhomogeneous Markov Model for Resource Availability under Sparse Observations

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Accurate spatio-temporal information about the current situation is crucial for smart city applications such as modern routing algorithms. Often, this information describes the state of stationary resources, e.g. the availability of parking bays, charging stations or the amount of people waiting for a vehicle to pick them up near a given location. To exploit this kind of information, predicting future states of the monitored resources is often mandatory because a resource might change its state within the time until it is needed. To train an accurate predictive model, it is often not possible to obtain a continuous time series on the state of the resource. For example, the information might be collected from traveling agents visiting the resource with an irregular frequency. Thus, it is necessary to develop methods which work on sparse observations for training and prediction. In this paper, we propose time-inhomogeneous discrete Markov models to allow accurate prediction even when the frequency of observation is very rare. Our new model is able to blend recent observations with historic data and also provide useful probabilistic estimates for future states. Since resources availability in a city is typically time-dependent, our Markov model is time-inhomogeneous and cyclic within a predefined time interval. To train our model, we propose a modified Baum-Welch algorithm. Evaluations on real-world datasets of parking bay availability show that our new method indeed yields good results compared to methods being trained on complete data and non-cyclic variants.

Token meets Wallet: Formalizing Privacy and Revocation for FIDO2

description: The FIDO2 standard is a widely-used class of challenge-response type protocols that allows to authenticate to an online service using a hardware token. Barbosa et al. (CRYPTO ‘21) provided the first formal security model and analysis for the FIDO2 standard. However, their model has two shortcomings: (1) It does not include privacy, one of the key features claimed by FIDO2. (2) It only covers tokens that store all secret keys locally. In contrast, due to limited memory, most existing FIDO2 tokens either derive all secret keys from a common seed or store keys on the server (the latter approach is also known as key wrapping).
In this paper, we revisit the security of the WebAuthn component of FIDO2 as implemented in practice. Our contributions are as follows. (1) We adapt the model of Barbosa et al. so as to capture authentication tokens using key derivation or key wrapping. (2) We provide the first formal definition of privacy for the WebAuthn component of FIDO2. We then prove the privacy of this component in common FIDO2 token implementations if the underlying building blocks are chosen appropriately. (3) We address the unsolved problem of global key revocation in FIDO2. To this end, we introduce and analyze a simple revocation procedure that builds on the popular BIP32 standard used in cryptocurrency wallets and can efficiently be implemented with existing FIDO2 servers.

description: Continuous cover forestry, where forests are managed only by partial harvestings, has been proposed to mitigate forestry-induced carbon and nutrient exports to receiving water courses. We studied the effects of two partial harvest treatments, strip-cutting at five sites and single-tree harvesting at the other site, on nutrient and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) exports from drained peatland forests. We found that, as well as clear-cutting, partial harvesting may also increase exports from peatland forests. The comparison of our results with earlier studies suggested that other factors than the harvest method, such as harvested stem volume per catchment area, are more important in controlling nutrient and DOC exports. Future research is still needed to produce exact export estimates for partially harvested drained peatland forests.

title: Wet and sticky: a novel model for computer-based painting
Creators: name: Cockshott, Malcolm Tunde
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 1991
Subjects: subject: Computer graphics.

description: The problems of computer based painting are considered from a fine arts stand point. A detailed criticism of existing approaches is provided. This criticism centres on the limited depth of existing models and the resultant limited complexity and relative poverty of their mark making capabilities. The notion of the importance of the accidental in art is highlighted and an argument is made for its inclusion in computer based painting models. An informal task analysis is carried out and a description is provided for the task of domain modeling. The results of this task analysis confirm the inadequacy of the existing computer based painting models. A novel paradigm, Wet & Sticky, is proposed which models the physical and behavioural characteristics of paint rather than just its colour properties. The initial proposals for the model require that it mimics the actions of gravity and the effects of ageing of upon different types of paint. An experimental development procedure is used to produce and refine a set of algorithms for an implementation of the new model, resulting in an increase in the complexity of the proposed model. The final model includes algorithms which simulate the actions of surface tension and diffusion. Details are given of the behavioural parameters and algorithms required by the model. This new model is capable of supporting the production of marks which possess a greater degree of complexity than possible with existing models. Throughout the development of the model the aim is to balance the requirements of producing a convincing visual and behavioural simulation of real paint, against the complexity of making a physically accurate simulation. The new model also provides the opportunity for new tools and techniques which are not only unsupportable with existing systems but also with traditional fine art painting methods. A selection of photographic results are included which provide support for the accuracy of the behaviour of the model.
Changes in nitrogen cycling following the clearcutting of drained peatland forests in southern Finland
Creators: name: Nieminen, M.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1998

description: The effects of forest clearcutting on the leaching of organic N, NH4+-N and NO3–-N and the processes likely to influence them were studied in two Norway spruce (Picea abies) dominated catchments located on nutrient-rich old peatland drainage areas in southern Finland. The concentrations of NH4+-N in precipitation reaching the ground increased after clearcutting. Those of NO3–-N increased in the area where the atmospheric N deposition was average, but decreased in the area subjected to higher than average N deposition. Ammonium-N concentrations in percolation water passing through the surface peat increased, both under slash-piles and in slash-free areas. Gaseous N2O and N2 emissions or leached amounts of N2O were not influenced by clearcutting. Organic N concentrations in runoff increased immediately after clearcutting, whereas the concentrations of NH4+-N and NO3–-N only increased after the first growing season after cutting. The causes for increased runoff nitrogen concentrations are discussed.

description: Combinatorial optimization problems play crucial roles in real-world applications, and many studies from a physics perspective have contributed to specialized hardware for high-speed computation. However, some combinatorial optimization problems are easy to solve, and others are not. Hence, the qualification of the difficulty in problem-solving will be beneficial. In this paper, we employ the Koopman analysis for multiple time-series data from the replica exchange Monte Carlo method. After proposing a quantity that aggregates the information of the multiple time-series data, we performed numerical experiments. The results indicate a negative correlation between the proposed quantity and the ability of the solution search.

Compositional High-Quality Synthesis

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: Over the last years, there has been growing interest in synthesizing reactive systems from quantitative specifications, with the goal of constructing correct and high-quality systems. Considering quantitative requirements in systems consisting of multiple components is challenging not only because of scalability limitations but also due to the intricate interplay between the different possibilities of satisfying a specification and the required cooperation between components. Compositional synthesis holds the promise of addressing these challenges.

We study the compositional synthesis of reactive systems consisting of multiple components, from requirements specified in a fragment of the logic LTL[F], which extends LTL with quality operators. We consider specifications that are combinations of local and shared quantitative requirements. We present a sound decomposition rule that allows for synthesizing one component at a time. The decomposition requires assume-guarantee contracts between the components, and we provide a method for iteratively refining the assumptions and guarantees. We evaluate our approach with a prototype implementation, demonstrating its advantages over monolithic synthesis and ability to generate decompositions.
Towards sustainable vendace fisheries? Fishermen’s conceptions about fisheries management
Creators: name: Salmi, P.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 1998

description: The management and sustainability of commercial vendace fisheries in Finnish lakes were studied from the point of view of the fishermen. Their attitudes, problems and proposals for better arrangements were examined and the implications for the development of the fishery system were discussed. From the perspective of the fishermen, the main management problem is the lack of fishing opportunities due to the restrictive policy of the fishery associations. The fishermen feel they have been neglected by the local level of management and would rather rely on the state level and its district authorities. The attitudes towards ecological sustainability of vendace stocks varied widely. In many cases regulations were considered important in order to protect the fish resources. However, the fishermen also needed regulations to enhance socioeconomic sustainability. The commercial fishermen should be integrated more closely into the decision-making regime in order to reduce the likelihood of conflict.

description: Multi-Factor Authentication is intended to strengthen the security of password-based authentication by adding another factor, such as hardware tokens or one-time passwords using mobile apps.
However, this increased authentication security comes with potential drawbacks that can lead to account and asset loss. If users lose access to their additional authentication factors for any reason, they will be locked out of their accounts. Consequently, services that provide Multi-Factor Authentication should deploy procedures to allow their users to recover from losing access to their additional factor that are both secure and easy-to-use.
In this work, we investigate the security and user experience of Multi-Factor Authentication recovery procedures, and compare their deployment to descriptions on help and support pages.
We first evaluate the official help and support pages of 1,303 websites that provide Multi-Factor Authentication and collect documented information about their recovery procedures. Second, we select a subset of 71 websites, create accounts, set up Multi-Factor Authentication, and perform an in-depth investigation of their recovery procedure security and user experience.
We find that many websites deploy insecure Multi-Factor Authentication recovery procedures and allowed us to circumvent and disable Multi-Factor Authentication when having access to the accounts’ associated email addresses. Furthermore, we commonly observed discrepancies between our in-depth analysis and the official help and support pages, implying that information meant to aid users is often either incorrect or outdated.
Based on our findings, we provide recommendations for best practices regarding Multi-Factor Authentication recovery.

Type material examined.
Thailand • 2 paratypes; from the type locality; S. Panha leg.; SMF 331457.
Type locality.
“ Smokon Mountain, Banmi District, Lopburi Province, 14°54'54"N, 100°29'45"E, 30 meters elevation ”.
Differential diagnosis.
This species is similar in shell shape to H. chedi and H. khaochakan. From them, H. smokon clearly differs by the concrescent angular and parietal lamellae. It is most similar to H. chedi which has its last whorl bluntly keeled (shouldered in H. smokon) and narrower umbilicus.
Distribution.
This species is known only from the type locality.
Remarks.
In the original description, the species was placed in the genus Anauchen because of the absent angular lamella. However, it is present as an angular part of the joined angulo-parietal lamella which justifies its placement in the genus Hypselostoma.

This essay questions one of the most successful innovations in the journalism industry and a central part of this news stream: push notifications, or alerts that appear on millions of mobile phone home screens. An example of “ambient journalism,” a shifting of editorial strategies for news alerts, push notifications make journalism reductive. Instead, Roxy Bonafont argues for slowing down journalism.
A numerical study using the Canadian Regional Climate Model for the PIDCAP period

Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2002

description: Simulations of summertime conditions over the BALTEX region using the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM) are compared with observations for the PIDCAP period. A systematic cold bias of the surface temperature was found in a reference simulation made with a version of the CRCM which uses the physical processes package of the third generation global climate model of the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis. This cold bias is found to be due to excessive cloud near the surface. Revision of the cloud scheme, which was originally designed for use in conjunction with relatively coarse resolution of the AGCM, results in a reduction of the cloud cover, improved net radiative flux at the surface and substantial reduction of the cold bias. An associated result is that the lower atmosphere becomes more conditionally unstable which increases the number of convective events. Nevertheless the incidence of convective precipitation events remains unrealistically low.

description: We study exciton energy spectrum and their propagation in moiré superlattices formed in transition metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers. In such structures, as a result of weak interlayer interaction, an effective, moiré, potential acting on excitons arises. Usually, excitons are considered to be localized in such potential. Here we demonstrate that the coupling of optically active excitons with induced electromagnetic field produces linear in the wavevector energy dispersion even if the quantum mechanical tunneling between the localization sites is suppressed. The effect can be described as a result of the processes of virtual generation-recombination of excitons at the localization sites that results in the $ r^{-3}$ dependence of the transfer matrix element on the intersite distance $r$. Based on the calculated energy spectrum we study exciton propagation in moiré superlattices with allowance for the light-exciton interaction. We consider semiclassical diffusion of excitons and take into account exciton-phonon and exciton-static defect scattering. For these mechanisms the diffusion coefficient decreases with increase of the temperature. We also analyze the hopping propagation regime and demonstrate that the temperature dependence of the exciton diffusion coefficient is described by the power-law rather than by an exponential function of the temperature.

description: We study the optical response of the alternating twisted trilayer graphene by making use of a unitary transformation for the trilayer Hamiltonian and the Kubo formulation of linear response theory. The layer-resolved optical conductivities are expressed in terms of contributions from effective twisted bilayer and single-layer systems along with their coupling. We show that the in-plane magnetic response is proportional to this coupling between the twisted bilayer and single-layer systems; and, due to the different energy scales, the in-plane magnetic response is negligibly small. We also formulate a local electro-magnetic response that involves the vertical gradients of the magnetic field and moment.

description: The BALTEX regional reassimilation project uses meteorological data assimilation for quantifying the climatic energy and water cycles over the catchment basin of the Baltic Sea during the course of one annual cycle, Sep. 1999–Oct. 2000. This report presents the data assimilation system used, the available products, and a sample of preliminary results. The latter demonstrate that the system is capable of simulating the essential features of the energy and water cycles of the Baltic drainage basin. We find this encouraging, because the model has not been tuned to reproduce these cycles, but mainly to predict the atmospheric state.

Review of cleaning techniques and their effects on the chemical composition of foliar samples

name: Raitio, H.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2003

description: Chemical foliar analysis is a tool widely used to study tree nutrition and to monitor the impact and extent of air pollutants. This paper reviews a number of cleaning methods, and the effects of cleaning on foliar chemistry. Cleaning may include mechanical techniques such as the use of dry or moistened tissues, shaking, blowing, and brushing, or use various washing techniques with water or other solvents. Owing to the diversity of plant species, tissue differences, etc., there is no standard procedure for all kinds of samples. Analysis of uncleaned leaves is considered a good method for assessing the degree of air contamination because it provides an estimate of the element content of the deposits on leaf surfaces or when the analysis is aimed at the investigation of transfer of elements along the food chain. Sample cleaning is recommended in order (1) to investigate the transfer rate of chemical elements from soil to plants, (2) to qualify the washoff of dry deposition from foliage and (3) to separate superficially absorbed and biomass-incorporated elements. Since there is not a standard cleaning procedure for all kinds of samples and aims, it is advised to conduct a pilot study in order to be able to establish a cleaning procedure to provide reliable foliar data.

description: Data analysts have long sought to turn unstructured text data into meaningful concepts. Though common, topic modeling and clustering focus on lower-level keywords and require significant interpretative work. We introduce concept induction, a computational process that instead produces high-level concepts, defined by explicit inclusion criteria, from unstructured text. For a dataset of toxic online comments, where a state-of-the-art BERTopic model outputs "women, power, female," concept induction produces high-level concepts such as "Criticism of traditional gender roles" and "Dismissal of women's concerns." We present LLooM, a concept induction algorithm that leverages large language models to iteratively synthesize sampled text and propose human-interpretable concepts of increasing generality. We then instantiate LLooM in a mixed-initiative text analysis tool, enabling analysts to shift their attention from interpreting topics to engaging in theory-driven analysis. Through technical evaluations and four analysis scenarios ranging from literature review to content moderation, we find that LLooM's concepts improve upon the prior art of topic models in terms of quality and data coverage. In expert case studies, LLooM helped researchers to uncover new insights even from familiar datasets, for example by suggesting a previously unnoticed concept of attacks on out-party stances in a political social media dataset.

Snow water equivalent variability and forecast in Lithuania
Creators: name: Rimkus, E.
name: Stankunavichius, G.

Year: 2002

description: Atmosphere circulation is the most important modulator of snow cover parameters. This study deals with the relation between the dominant Northern Hemisphere circulation mode, called the Arctic Oscillation (AO), and the spatial distribution of the snow water equivalent (SWE) within the territory of Lithuania. The results indicate an inverse relation between the extreme AO phase and the SWE. However, the largest spatial differences are seen in the positive AO phase. The absolute altitude and slopes expositions play a more significant role in that case. During the extreme negative AO phase, a decreasing temperature as a function of distance from the seacoast from west to east becomes more significant to the accumulation of snow cover. The study also includes a climatic forecast for changes in the snow water equivalent based on the outputs of five climate models. Under an increasing winter air temperature and rain fraction in winter precipitation, the SWE will decrease distinctly causing a change in river feeding regime.

description: Decreasing snow cover in winter resulting from climate warming increases the incidence of freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) in many ecosystems, including peatlands. As peatland ecosystems form a globally significant long-term carbon storage, understanding the effects of changing conditions in winter on carbon dynamics is essential. We studied how FTCs affect peatland carbon cycling by conducting mesocosm experiments with Sphagnum. Our results indicate an overall impeding effect of FTCs on Sphagnum photosynthesis, chlorophyll content, ecosystem respiration and enzymatic processes. A threefold reduction in photosynthesis in the FTC treatment was related to a decrease in chlorophyll content, showing that Sphagnum physiologically suffers from repeated FTCs. In the FTC treatment β-glucosidase and phosphatase enzymatic activities decreased by 50% and 30%, respectively, whilst alanine remained unaffected, indicating that in peat soils short-term FTCs affect the carbon and phosphorus cycles, but not the nitrogen cycle. Long-term effects of FTCs deserve further studies.
Benthic macroinvertebrates and aquatic mosses in pristine streams of the Tolvajärvi region, Russian Karelia

description: As a preliminary stage in characterizing the biodiversity patterns of pristine stream habitats in Russian Karelia, the macroinvertebrate fauna and bryophyte flora were studied in three river systems of the Tolvajärvi area. The pristine watercourses of this area are among the few representative watercourses to be used as reference sites for the studies dealing with the impact of forestry on lotic biodiversity. The benthic fauna and flora of the area were found to include many species considered as endangered, rare or with a northern distribution in Finland. In Canonical Correspondence Analysis, the most important environmental variables affecting the distribution and abundance of the benthic fauna were the abundance of aquatic mosses, the amount of organic matter and woody debris, the size of the drainage area and the concentrations of nutrients and iron in the water. Filter feeding trichopteran and algae feeding chironomid larvae dominated the stable lake outlet habitats with abundant moss vegetation, while small streams with higher nutrient and iron concentrations and large amount of organic matter were dominated by shredding stonefly species of the generas Nemoura, Nemurella and Leuctra.

description: Dissolved organic matter (DOM) degradation in freshwaters plays an important role in the global carbon cycle, yet there is limited understanding of how the origin and composition of DOM regulate the production of riverine greenhouse gases. We investigated the molecular composition of DOM using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) and measured the potential carbon dioxide (CO2) production in pristine subarctic rivers of Finnish Lapland. During 21-day incubations, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) was effectively mineralized into CO2 in the clearwater river associated with mineral soils. The high degradability of mineral soil-derived DOM was supported by a high presence of aliphatic and peptide-like compounds. Significantly lower CO2 production per DOC was observed in the brown-water river, likely due to a large number of less biodegradable, vascular plant-derived compounds from surrounding peatlands. These findings highlight the significance of biolabile molecular compounds in the DOM degradation dynamics of subarctic catchments.
Towards the reconstruction of subfossil vegetation: an unexpected plant record in Early Holocene sediments of a mire in NE Poland

description: We reconstructed a subfossil plant community, Sphagnum sect. Acutifolia-Carex, in the development of Borki mire located in NE Poland. The plant community existed in the Early Holocene, from the Preboreal until the middle of the Boreal periods. We found a co-occurrence of both ombrotrophy/oligotrophy and minerotrophy plant taxa indicators, as well as an intriguing concomitance of them with different preferences for acidity and moisture of the substratum. Statistically significant, non-random, positive associations were determined for several pairs of species where such dyads were formed by taxa typical of different habitats. Such a combination of taxa has not been reported, and hence this community does not have many equivalents in subfossil or modern phytocoenosis. Its occurrence at the studied mire supposedly resulted from specific local hydrological conditions during the Early Holocene.

description: We study the symmetry breaking and restoration behavior of a self-interacting charged scalar field theory under the influence of a constant electric field and finite temperature. Our study is performed in the context of the optimized perturbation theory. The dependence of the effective potential with constant electric fields is established by means of the bosonic propagators in the Schwinger proper-time method. Explicit analytical expressions for the electric and thermal contributions are found. Our results show a very weak decreasing behavior of the vacuum expectation value as a function of the electric field, which is strengthened by the temperature effect. A first-order phase transition that occurs at zero/weak electric fields changes to a second-order phase transition under strong electric fields. The critical temperature for the phase transition exhibited a very weak dependence on the electric field. Additionally, we computed the vacuum persistence probability rate for the interacting theory, finding a peak at the critical point. The maximum value of this rate at the critical point is found to be independent of the coupling constant but depended solely on the magnitude of the electric field.

Cation-exchange reactions involving aluminium ions in podzols disturbed by deep tilling

description: The stratified structure of a podzolic soil is changed during deep tilling of forest soils. Here, we assessed whether (i) cation-exchange properties and (ii) cation-exchange reactions in podzolic soil were altered when the illuvial (B) horizon was subject to environmental conditions prevailing on the soil surface and the organic (O) horizon was buried within the mineral soil. The samples were taken from undisturbed and disturbed podzolic soil profiles at two forest sites that had been ploughed 17 and 31 years ago and planted with Norway spruce seedlings. An increase in soil organic C and effective cation-exchange capacity (CECe) was observed in the Bs horizons exposed to the soil surface. The accumulation of soil C was mainly due to organic matter produced by the planted Norway spruce. The Al3+-Ca2+ cation-exchange equilibria were similar in both the disturbed and undisturbed O and Bs horizons. This indicates that similar reactions between Al3+ and Ca2+ took place in different horizons of podzols irrespective of the disturbance. A positive correlation of CECe in the Bs horizons with soil C indicated that soil organic matter played a major role in the cation-exchange reactions. The importance of exchangeable cations in determining pH variation in the O horizon was additionally supported by the success in describing the relationship between soil solution pHs and base saturation using the extended Henderson-Hasselbach equation in which exchangeable Ale had nonacidic properties similar to those of base cations. The results of this study suggest that organic matter, accumulated within the soil profile during soil formation and upon ploughing, had an important role in determining the cation-exchange properties and reactions in the studied podzols.
