Abstract

Stara planina presents one of the greatest mountains in Balkans spreading from Vrška Čuka to the Black sea where Western part of this mountain range is border between Serbia and Bulgaria. The research site was located at Vidlič in even- aged European beech coppice forest. In investigated stand, plot of 25x25 m area was established with 9 randomly selected where soil respiration was measured during climatically two different vegetation periods in 2013 and 2014. Measurements were performed with portable gas exchange measurement system ADC LCPro+. At the same time, evaporation, soil moisture content, soil temperature and air temperature were measured in order to correlate with soil respiration. Results showed significant impact of soil moisture content driven by climate conditions in two investigated years on soil respiration and evaporation.
