 abstract = {Questions:What is the impact of simulated historical tree litter removal on un- derstorey plants and soil properties in a temperate deciduous forest?What is the role of seasonal timing of tree litter removal on understorey plants? Location: Podyj?ı National Park, CzechRepublic. Methods:Weconducted an experiment in a randomized complete block design of 45 plots (5 9 5 m). Each block (N = 15) consisted of one plot for each of the three treatments. Treatments consisted of (1) tree litter removal during spring, (2) tree litter removal during autumn, or (3) no litter removal as control treat- ment. These treatments were repeated over 4 yr. In each plot we recorded the understorey plant species composition and collected soil samples prior to treat- ment (year 0) and in each subsequent year (years 1–4). Temporal trends in spe- cies richness were analysed using repeated measures ANOVAs. The impact of the treatments on vegetation composition over time was analysed using princi- pal response curves. Results: Total species richness per plot significantly changed over time, but this was not related to treatment. Annual species richness increased significantly, but only for the autumn treatment. Annual species also showed the highest inter-annual variation. Endangered species were not affected.When compared to the control treatment, the effect of autumn raking on species composition was stronger than the effect of spring raking. Although the amount of removed nutrients substantially exceeded ambient nitrogen input, no changes in soil con- ditionswere detected. Conclusions: The season inwhich tree litter removal took place had a small but significant impact on the understorey vegetation, in particular affecting the ger- mination and establishment of annual species. The large inter-annual variation in species richness calls for a long-term field experiment. The removal of nutrients via litter raking greatly exceeds atmospheric nutrient deposition, warranting a further investigation of litter raking as a potential tool for forest conservation.},
