The paper summarizes the results of long-term measurements of soil temperature. The measurements were performed at two depths (5 cm and 20 cm) on a series of five experimental plots with different stocking. Soil temperatures in the submontane beech forest at the Ecological Experimental Site Kremnicke vrchy Mts., Slovak Republic, reached their maximum values in August, minimum ones in February. The obtained data were processed using t-test and regression analysis to evaluate the effect of soil temperature on the biomass production of herb layer. An important influence of this factor was confirmed at both depths.
