Norway spruce Picea abies L. Karst. and sessile oak Quercus petraea Matt. Lieb. stands were situated in the Haute Ardenne east Belgium on acid-brown soil. The herb-layer floristic richness increased during the 2 years following liming with the appearance of light and N-demanding species which are also found in clear-cut areas or on road verges. Mosses reacted rapidly showing a decrease acidophilous-dominant species and the establishment of some ruderal species. Six months after liming the pH was significantly increased in the organic horizon of both stands and in the organomineral horizon of the oak stand. Soils originating from the two stands showed distinct responses in net NO production to the dolomite lime treatment. In the organic layer of the Quercus soil net NH4 production was decreased NO production increased and total N mineralisation remained unchanged. In the organomineral layer NO production was increased. In the Picea soil NO production was decreased in the organomineral soil layer. These results indicate the possibility of differences in the
