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

The soils formed on sandstones in sessile oak forests (Quercetum montanum typicum er. et Jov. 1953) were researched in the area of Fru ka Gora. On permanent sample plots established in management units “ ortanova ka Forest-Hopovo-Velika Remeta“ and “Beo in-Manastir-Katanske Livade-Osovlje“, in the are of NP “Fru ka 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 kori 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.
