Abstract

Research data on granulometric composition and the content of genetic horizons’ nutrients of soddy-podzolic soils formed on fluvioglacial deposits in dif-ferent types of forest conditions are presented. Research was conducted in fresh bory and subory under scots pine plantations of all ages. The largest part of the roots appeared to be concentrated to the depth of 60–80 cm. The higher content of nitrogen, potassium and humus is observed in fresh subory compared to the same indices in fresh bory. It is suggested that forest growth potential of sandy soils decreases over time with the increase of biomass amount and the age of forest stands.
