The thesis gives an overview of the main chemical properties, contents of total and available microelements and heavy metals, physical and water-physical properties of the soils of Piva Mountain, Montenegro. The analyses involved 11 representative samples of native soil taken on Piva Mountain, during June 2007. The following main chemical properties were analyzed: chemical reaction - soil acidity, CaCO3 content (%), humus content (%), total N content (%), available P and K contents (mg/100 g of soil). The analyses included also the contents of total and available microelements and heavy metals, the amounts of which were determined in mg/kg of soil. The analyses of physical properties included the following properties; soil profile, soil depth, colour of different soil horizons (humus and cambic) and soil texture. The laboratory analyses indicated that some soil samples differed significantly from others, regarding the main chemical and physical properties as well as regarding the contents of total and available microelements and heavy metals. A predominant part of Piva Mountain is covered by two subtypes of the dolomitic lime black soil, organo-mineral and brownized. The contents of microelements and heavy metals were highly variable. This variability was due to differences in the native substrate of these soils, which topic was subject to extensive subsequent study.
