Forest soils from a certain geographic area can be studied based on the soil analyses realized during forest management activities. As such, based on the values of the main chemical parameters for the 1392 pedo-genetic horizons from the 10 forest districts from Sibiu County, relevant conclusions were obtained and statistically ensured regarding their characteristics. The main soils from Sibiu County are luvisol, eutric cambisol and dystric cambisol. Entic podzol and dystric cambisol are strongly acid and oligomesobasic, while eutric cambisol, luvisol and preluvisol are moderately acid and phaeozem is neutral and eubasic. All soils form this area have a high total cationic exchange capacity and are well supplied with nitrogen and humus, having a superior reliability for the forest vegetation.
