The main feature of the soil cover on mountain Tara are the soils formed on limestones. The presence of the diabase - horn slate formation in the massif Zvezda and Tara makes the structure of the soil cover more complex. In this area, along with limestone and dolomite, horn slates also appear on the surface, which is reflected on the soil genesis and properties. The admixtures of horn slate are characteristic for the ilimerised soil. The profile of ilimerised soil with horn slate admixtures and the profile of ilimerised soil on limestone without the presence of horn slate, differ significantly in the percentage and distribution of clay per profile depth, pH-value, and the values which characterise the adsorptive complex. The ilimerised soils formed under the effect of the elements of diabase - horn slate formation are the more mesophilic sites of the mixed community of beech, fir and spruce.
