Horizons and humus forms in beech forests of the Belgian Ardennes
International audience ; Forest soil organic horizons are named on the basis of visual observations made directly in the field, thus this is often subjective. To find more objective bases for their classification, humus form horizons in 13 beech stands (Fagus sylvatica Ehrh,) were compared.
