Abstract

Soil on the dolomites of Samobor and Žumberak hills developed as a consequence of interaction of specific pedogenetic factors. The zone of saccharoidal Triassic dolomites is characterized by heavily dissected relief with tent-like crests with steep sloping sides and cut in "V"-shaped valleys, displaying a great density of valley network. Dolomite parent rock is poorly permeable with a shallow, fairly uniform zone of physical weathering into dolomite gravel, which results in a dominance of calcareous skeletal rendzinas on dolomite.
