Sažetak
Research of lowland oak forest sites have been going on since 1963. Their basic aim was to determine the most favourable stand form, optimal production and investment priorities on the basis of ecological conditions and management potentials for individual site complexes. One of the main components in data gathering was forest soil. Mapping of forest and non-forest soil was carried out by the elaboration of soil maps in a 1:50 000 scale. Maps in 1:25 000 and 1:10 000 scales were done for more intensive and detailed researches. In the typological distribution of Croatia, the region of the lowland Oak forest is divided to several regions. Basic unit of soil classification in Croatia is soil type definec by one-tipe profile composition with a characteristic horizon sequence, one-type matter transformation and migration processes and one-type phsical and chemical horizon properties. It has been established that soil types of hydromorphic class occur in the Oak forest communities. The soils in this class are charasterised by additional moisturising ; periodical or permanent. Main forest soil types of Croatian lowland Oak forest are Gleysols, Planosols, Albeluvisols and Fluvisols. There has been intensive research of soil-vegetation sequence on this area and each vegetation unit is associated with a specific soil type.
