This study investigates the effects of the forty-year cultivation of Picea  abies on the floristic composition, physical and chemical soil  characteristics, and the intensity of organic matter decomposition in a zone  of mountainous beech forest (mt. Maljen, northwestern Serbia). The long-term  cultivation of conifers in a deciduous habitat has caused a reduction in  biodiversity, as well as changes in the soil which were most pronounced in  the top soil layer. There were found to be lower soil moisture levels  (p<0.05), lower active (p<0.01) and substitutional acidity (p<0.001),  depletion of the adsorption complex in base cations (p<0.001), and lower  levels of n, P and K (p<0.001) in the spruce stand in relation to the beech  stand (control). The higher C/n ratio of spruce litter (p<0.001) caused its  lower decomposition rate in comparison to beech litter (p<0.01). All these  changes have led to degradation and a reduction in this ecosystem’s  productivity. [Acknowledgments.
