Abstract
In the Kaufunger Wald in southern Lower Saxony the cation and anion composition of springs emerging in forests has been investigated. The chemical analysis covered pH, organic carbon, Na, NH4, K, Mg, Ca, Al, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd, and the anions Cl, NO3, SO4 and PO4. The springs on the exposed west side of this hill area emerge from acidified soil layers; with pH values around 3.7 they are strongly acidic and contain Al and heavy metals. Aquatic life seems to have no chance in these waters. The east side springs which pass through deeper layers have a good quality.
