Soil pools of P and base cations of different forest history stages. a Mean pools of available P (resin P) and (b) BaCl2-exchangeable base cations in the mineral soil (0–100 cm, data for 60–100 cm were computed by extrapolation) under ancient beech (BeAnc), ancient pine (PiAnc) and recent pine stands (PiRec). Given is the population mean (black dot) and the standard error, and the individual means of the stands (open circles). Significantly different population means between the stand types are marked with different small letters. The stands comprise those analyzed in this study and seven additional recent pine stands from western Brandenburg according to Leuschner et al. (2013)
