The paper presents the results of pedological research in stands of Serbian spruce (Picea omorika /Pač./Purkyne) affected by fires and parts that were not burned, as well as other treatments applied in the Franklinia project (2021-2023). The aim of the research in this work is to present the physical and chemical properties of the treated parts of the stands and the pedological classification of the profile. The research analyzed 8 pedological profiles, 7 of which were also analyzed in the laboratory. Pedological profiles were opened in the localities of Tesla, Gostilja, Veliki Stolac, Studenac and Trenice. Five analyzed profiles belong to the type of colluvium, and 1 profile each belongs to the types of chert on limestone, chalcocambisol and eutric cambisol. The depth of analyzed colluvium profiles ranges from 30 to 40 cm. As a rule, these are very skeletal soils (10-75%). The textural composition of the analyzed profiles ranges from powdery loams with colluvium and Mollic leptosols, through sandy-clay loams with Leptic Cambisol (Eutric), to clay loams with eutric cambisols. The humus content of all analyzed profiles is high. Soil reactions in water range from neutral to moderately alkaline. The availability of easily accessible forms of phosphorus and potassium is low to medium. The potential of the researched soils for the growth and development of spruce stands is limited, mostly due to skeletal structure.
