Concentrations and bioavailability of Al, Fe, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Mn in mountain forest soil replanted with speckled alder (Alnus incana (L.) Moench) are explored 7 years after soil surface vs. planting hole application of amphibolite and dolomitic limestone mixture. The mechanisms of slow limestone dissolution are explained and discussed from broader systematic view. The aspects of soil pH and oxidable carbon and the cation exchange capacity changes as well as changes of water-soluble, total, and effective concentrations of tested elements in the amended soils are included. The soil amendment invoked the depletion of K (and slightly Zn) effective concentration. The total concentrations of Ca, Mn, Al, and partly Mg in soil were increased owing to the presence of these elements in the amendment; the water-soluble concentrations nor effective concentrations of Al, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd, and Pb were increased. Moreover, the effective concentration of Al in both amended variants decreased. The usual negative side effects of liming were not observed due to the slow dissolution of the amendment. Further, the surface application of the amendment is cheaper than the planting hole application, but there are some expected losses of the amendment by concurrent uptake by grass and by flushing.
