Abstract :
This study describes character of humus layers in Modrava and Plechý areas (Šumava Mts.), especially thickness of humus layers in relation to microhabitat conditions, in particular dominant species and microrelief types. The research was carried out on six permanent research plots; three of them are located in Forest District Modrava and three in Forest District Plechý. Influence of mentioned factors was assigned using the analysis of variance and multiple comparison. Our data suggest that statistically important differences between individual humus layers can be only rarely confirmed – our data shows large variability
