The micro-calorimetric technique with addition of glucose has proved to be a well-suited method for determining bioactivity in the humus layer of an older spruce stand after acid irrigation and liming. Compared with normally irrigated plots, artificial acid rain with pH 2.7 to 3.0 reduced bioactivity to 30 to 50%. Liming about doubled bioactivity, but significantly only in distinct subhorizons (Of12 and Of2). These subhorizons are characterized by a lime-induced pH-increase as well as by better micro-climatic conditions than such in subhorizon Of11 located on top of the two, and by having a higher pH, too. Possibly, the easily decomposible compounds were already used up in Of11.
