The paper deals with soil characteristics of selected localities on Smrk Mt. and Knehyne Mt. in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids (38 segments of forest ecosystems). Based on the main soil forming factors defined for studied soils the correctness of classification of groups of forest types into edaphic categories were evaluated. Six main soil forming factors were detected. Some of the soils were strongly influenced by surplus of water in the profile. Regardless of the altitude, most soils contained a considerable share of skeleton. On the rest of the localities, the main soil forming factors were the cambic and podzolization processes. Both of these pedogenic processes (either of them being dominant) were found at most of the localities. Two of the forest soils were predominantly affected by fluvial processes.
