Forest soils and climatic parameters: the interrelationship between climatic features and chosen soil properties from the viewpoint of changes of air temperatures and precipitations

This diploma thesis is dealing with interrelationship between chosen soil properties and air temperature and precipitation. Five study plots, located in Training Forest Enterprise Masaryk Forest Křtiny, were sampled during vegetation period and subsequently laboratory analysed for actual soil reaction, potential soil reaction, maximal capillary water capacity and minimal air capacity. From those five study plots were chosen four climatically different (the warmest, the coldest, the wettest and the driest) study plots based on climatic data. The goal of this study is a determination of climate impact on selected soil properties
