The content of 4 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) 3.4‐benzopyrene, fluoranthene, benzo(ghi)perylene and indeno(1,2,3‐cd)perylene was measured within the humus layer and the mineral soil of a spruce and a beech forest ecosystem. The results indicate high contents of PAH in the humus layer of both stands. The spruce stand showed higher contents and storages of PAH than the beech stand.
