ABSTRACT
The aim of the work was to investigate various soils properties in the partial forest reserve "Krzywiczyny", in the Namysłów Forest Inspectorate (Opole Voivodeship). It was found that upper soil horizons, including organic, humic and illuvial ones, indicated clear accumulation of Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd. However, a tendency to diminution of these elements content with profile depth was noted. High positive correlation was stated between organic matter content and Mn, Zn, and Cu amounts in the brown leached soils studied.
