abstract in English:	The dynamics of heavy metals in decomposing litter were investigated in two different forest ecosystems (Pino-Quercetum, PQ and Tilio-Carpinetum, TC) and compared to the dynamics of N, K, Ca and Mg. The elements can be ordered according to their release rates in a similar sequence for both litter types: In both forest stands, a high accumulation rate of some heavy metals was observed, despite the differences in soil acidity and initial substrate composition.
