Filtering of Sulfur compounds from air by beech forest In a mature beech (Fagus silvatica) forest the amounts of sulfate‐S per ha and year in open land precipitation, throughfall, stem flow and seepage in 100 cm soil depth have been measured from 1969 to 1976. From the fluxes measured quantitative data on plant leaching and dry deposition in the form of plant filtering are derived. Dry deposition amounts to 26kg S · ha −1 · y −1 and is of the same size as wet deposition (24 kg). The leaching of sulfate takes place only in autumn and amounts to ca. 3 kg S. The acid soil in the range of Al‐buffering increases its sulfate storage annually by ca. 17 kg S/ha.
