Depending on data available, there are some methods to account the water<br />
percolation flux. So, water balance equation can be calculated using the data on<br />
precipitation, both soil and interception evaporation as well as plant transpiration.<br />
If these data are in deficiency, simplified method of calculating based on<br />
approximation of total evapotranspiration as a linear function of mean air<br />
temperature can be applied accordingly to (Michalzik et al., 2001):<br />
Qle = P – (1+T/10 o )*0.25 (2)<br />
where: P - precipitation, [m/yr]; T - mean air temperature, [ o C].<br />
Both parameters are available through the regional or international climate<br />
database (for example, http://www.iwmi.org). Also, runoff data can be applied for<br />
this kind of calculating, especially for the areas with negative water balance when<br />
water leaching is during short period (mostly in the spring). Analysis of different<br />
calculations carried out using climate data (Medvedeva et al., 1983) have shown<br />
that if average data on precipitation and evapotranspiration have been used the<br />
value of water leaching equal to 190-200 mm/yr. On the other hand, Qle accounted<br />
using Eq.2 are in two times higher (about 400 mm) that are too high since total<br />
runoff values for the same area had been estimated in 115-125 mm (Zaslavskaja et<br />
al., 1983). So, metal leaching in forest ecosystems for area under investigation have<br />
been estimated in average from 1.0 up to 10 mg/m2.yr and higher depending on<br />
soil parameters. The main uncertainties have water percolation data.<br />
Removal by wood biomass growth. The following equation can be used to<br />
estimate metal outputs with biomass uptake:<br />
M up<br />
= f ru<br />
* Y * M hpp (3)<br />
where: fru – root uptake factor, to scale the net uptake in the root zone to the depth<br />
considered, [-]; Y – annual biomass growth, [kg/ha.yr]; Mhpp – metal content in the<br />
harvested parts (wood in the forest ecosystems), [mg/kg].<br />
