The aim of this thesis was to compare properties of the soils on glaciofluvial sediment in Poland and the Czech Republic. Physical, chemical and biochemical properties were monitored in soil profiles. Samples were collected on lands with different land use and in different time of year. Subsequently, samples were transported to the laboratory of Faculty of Forestry and Wood technology at Mendel University in Brno, Department of Geology and Pedology, where soils were analyzed. The results showed that samples taken from various soil profiles are mainly composed from 85 to 95% of the sandy fraction (2 till 0.05mm) with a negligible proportion of gravel, loess and clay particles. Determined values of soil reaction reflected the fact that the soil is very acidic, within profiles no. 4 and 5, where soil reactions were described as slightly alkaline. When enzymatic activity of soil was determined, it was found that the activity of soil phosphatises and ureases decreases with soil depth. Cmic analyse exhibits decreasing trend in profiles no. 1, 2, 5 and 6. On the other hand, the higher amount of microbial carbon was found in deepest layers of profiles no. 3 and 4.
