Assessment of production potential of podzolised and typical acid brown soils in some forest types in the area of Veliki Jastrebac

Abstract

The characteristics of podzolised and typical acid brown soils were studied in beech forests in Management Unit “Lomnička Reka“ on Veliki Jastrebac. Also, their production potential was evaluated based on their physico-chemical properties. As productivity is a realised value of the soil fertility, realized through the yield and increment, the site productive capacity was evaluated based on mean maximal heights. The correlation analysis shows the extent to which the characteristics of podzolised and typical acid brown soils affect the mean maximal heights.
