About article:
The aim of the paper is to present and evaluate the measured values of saturated hydraulic conductivity of organic soil horizons under deciduous forest at the examined locality Zelezna studienka. For determination of saturated hydraulic conductivity the single ring method, the falling head method and Guelph infiltrometer were used. The organic matters of forest floor come from dead plant material at various degrees of decomposition and aggregation and significantly influence the initiation processes of infiltration and outflow. The organic soil horizons of forest floor have extremely high porosity, very low bulk density, peculiar texture and structure, are changed according to the degree of mechanical and biochemical decomposition. The average values of saturated hydraulic conductivity were measured in the range from 153.39 cm h-1 for the falling head method up to 392.1 cm h-1 for the single ring method
