Results obtained during 16 years of the experiment are presented. Extreme site conditions are determined by: 8th vegetation altitudal zone, podzolic soil and harsh climate - average annual temperature 4 deg C, annual precipitation around 1200 mm. Effects of surface experimental liming were studied on immission clear-cuts in long time period, study area is located on the Velka Destna locality on the main Orlicke hory Mts. range. Research plots were established in spring of 1988, studies of liming effects were performed in the period 1987-2004. On particular plots, 0, 1308, 2826, 3924 and 8478 kg/ha of fine limestone (grain size under 1 mm) was distributed by hands on the soil surface. Results are available for the forestry practice, research has to continue in the future - potential of negative liming impacts is topical here, consisting in humus mineralization and nutrients losses. Maximum effects on the soil reaction were observed in 8-10 years after limestone application at the soil surface (F - horizon) and in the period 10-15 years lower (H, A - horizons). Base saturation dynamics shows the time delay 2-4 years folowing pH values changes.
