Production and testing of a new system for soil temperature and soil moisture measurements is presented. The system includes four digital and pre-calibrated sensors of temperature DS18B20 and two pre-calibrated moisture sensors EC-05. Also basic schematic presentations and a project for self-production are included, while the programme can be obtained from the authors.

SOM has been characterized at four forest stands with soil texture in carbonate karstic-dinaric areas of Kočevski Rog – Rajhenav (RA) and Snežna jama (SJ), the silicate bedrock at Kladje (KL) in Pohorje and on Aluvioglacial gravel and sands (at Intensive Monitoring plot at location Brdo at Kranj- BR). The difference in SOM characteristics found at RA and KL were affected by different vegetation composition and litter quality. The vegetation composition together with climatic conditions and composition of microbial community were probably the main reason of more rapid degradation of SOM observed at KL.
