For this reason, monitoring of the flux of pollutants into the soil is important activity in forestmanagement and protection. This type of monitoring, comprising quantity and quality of throughfall and soil solution in Croatian lowland forests, was started in 1991 in the Forest Research Institute Jastrebarsko, following the ICP Forest method (International Cooperative Programme on Assessment and Monitoring of Air Pollution on Forests). Materials and Methods: This paper relates to monitoring whichwas established on 3 sample plots in pedunculate oak and common hornbeam forests (Carpino betuli-Quercetum roboris, Aniˋ 56/emed. Rauˋ 1969), in the regions of Bjelovarska ˋesma, Pokupski Basin and Repaˋ (all in NW Croatia). Rain-gauges and bulks were set up on the plots under tree crowns, as well as in open space without vegetation (for the purpose of control). Modified Ebermayer lysimeters were installed in the soil profile under the humus horizon at 10每20 cm, and in the mineral part of soil at a depth of 100 cm. The field sampling was carried out once a month, and selected ions were analyzed in the water (K+,Na+, Ca2+,Mg2+,NH4+每N, Cl每,NO3每每N,SO4 2每每S). Results: The results indicate an increase in the amount of deposited substances in forest ecosystems. According to analyses most chloride was found in lysimeters at a depth of 10 and 100 cm in the region of the Pokupski Basin; followed by ˋesma and then Repaˋ. Most SO4 2每每S reached lysimeters at a depth of 10 cm in all regions i.e., in Repaˋ, followed by ˋesma and Pokupski. An increase in sulfur also occurred in lysimeters at a depth of 100 cm in the region of Pokupski and ˋesma, with smaller increase recorded at Repaˋ. Increase of NO3 每每N was highest at a depth of 10 cm in the regions of ˋesma and Pokupski. Contents of sodium and chlorine increased most in the region of the Pokupski Basin, in a lysimeter at a depth of 100 cm. Potassium on average was most abundant at ˋesma in lysimeters at a depth of 10 cm, and somewhat less in the region of Pokupski and Repaˋ. Calcium on average wasmost found in the region of ˋesma, in lysimeters at a depth of 100 cm, which can be explained by the increased amount of CaCO3 in deep layers of soil profile. Magnesium was most registered in ˋesma at a depth of 100 cm, and then at a depth of 10 cm. A somewhat smaller increase occurred in the Pokupski Basin. Conclusions: All three regions are characterized by significant acidification of
