The concentrations of Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn in the soil and litterfall, as well as influx of the elements to the soils with litterfall were studied in a mixed beech-pine-spruce stand in northern Poland during the years 2007–2009. Annual influx of litterfall to the soil amounted from 3.234 to 4.871 t/ha. Beech, pine and spruce litterfall contributed in total litterfall in 50.8−70.1%, 11.4−11.9% and 1.6−24.0% respectively. The following average annual concentrations of heavy metals in total litterfall during the 3-year study period were noticed: 2469.3–3469.2 mg Mn/kg, 153.6–160.8 mg/kg Zn, 8.0–14.3 mg Ni/kg and 5.0–6.8 mg Cu/kg. In general, the concentrations of Mn and Cu were higher in beech litterfall in comparison to pine and spruce. The contents of Zn and Ni in beech, pine and spruce litterfall were comparable. Annual influx of metals to the soil with litterfall was: 10341.6–14422.4 g/ha Mn, 460.3–748.1 g/ha Zn, 37.4–66.6 g/ha Ni and 20.2–31.8 g/ha Cu. The fluxes were higher for Mn, Zn and Ni, and comparable for Cu in relation to those observed in other beech, pine, spruce and mixed stands in northern Europe.

W latach 2007–2009, w drzewostanie bukowo-sosnowo-świerkowym zlokalizowanym na obszarze Polski Północnej, prowadzono badania zawartości Cu, Mn, Ni i Zn w glebie i opadzie roślinnym oraz dopływu tych składników do gleby z opadem. Roczna produkcja opadu roślinnego w okresie badań wynosiła od 3.234 do 4.871 t/ha. W całkowitej jego masie udział opadu buka wynosił 50.8−70.1%, sosny 11.4−11.9%, a świerka 1.6−24.0%. Średnie ważone roczne stężenia badanych metali w opadzie roślinnym mieściły się w przedziale: 2469.3–3469.2 mg Mn/kg, 153.6–160.8 mg Zn/kg, 8.0–14.3 mg Ni/kg i 5.0–6.8 mg Cu/kg. Na ogół wyższe stężenia Mn i Cu obserwowano w opadzie buka w porównaniu z opadem sosny i świerka, a zawartość Zn i Ni była porównywalna. Roczny dopływ metali do gleby z opadem roślinnym wynosił: 10341.6–14422.4 g Mn/ha, 460.3–748.1 g Zn/ha, 37.4–66.6 g Ni/ha i 20.2–31.8 g Cu/ha. Na tle danych uzyskanych przez innych autorów w drzewostanach bukowych, sosnowych, świerkowych i mieszanych występujących w Europie Północnej, odnotowany w badanym drzewostanie dopływ Mn, Zn i Ni był większy, a Cu porównywalny.
