Because f orestry is often allocated to soils with low weathering capacity , intensive harvesting practices may deteriorat e plant nutrition . Reliable estimates of weathering rates are therefore crucial in analyses of sustainability of , e.g., whole - tree and stump harvesting . By t he mass balance approach present base cation cycling may be estimated from data on leaching, deposi tion , and accumulation in biomas s and soil . Insight in the uncertainties in the weathering estimates is crucial for the interpretation of the data
