Soil pro pert ies in sessile oak fore sts (Quercetum montanum typicum Čer. et Jov. 1953) in the are a of Fruška Gora

Abstract

The soils formed on sandstones in sessile oak forests (Quercetum montanum typicum Čer. et Jov. 1953) were researched in the area of Fruška Gora. On permanent sample plots established in management units “Čortanovačka Forest-Hopovo-Velika Remeta“ and “Beočin-Manastir-Katanske Livade-Osovlje“, in the are of NP “Fruška Gora“, aiming at the monitoring of the effect of light regime on the development of sessile oak progeny in the given environmental conditions, based on the morphogenetic characteristics of the soil and analytic values of the soil properties, and based on the soil classification by Škorić et al. (1985), the following two soil types were defined: acid brown soil (dystric cambisol), and illimerised soil (luvisol). Acid brown soil belongs to the form of medium deep soils, and illimerised soil is classified as deep soil.
