Properties and productive potential of dystric brown soil on red sandstone in beech forests of 'Čestobrodica'

Dystric brown soils were studied in the mountain forest of beech (Fagetum moesiacae montanum, Jov. 1976) in the area of the Management Unit "Cestobrodica". The soil study was carried out on three series of sample plots. The soils are formed on red sandstones, and the characteristics and the way of the substrate weathering has a decisive effect on the soil characteristics.
