Özet
The soils of the Yildiz Mountain, namely Entisols, Mollisols, Inceptisols, Ultisols, and Spodosols, from Poyrali, Yenicekoy, Demirkoy and northwest of Igneada that were developed on calcareous sandy sediments, chlorite schists, Pliocene sediments and alluvial materials were studied in this paper. Moreover, the Entisols and the Mollisols located at the Kirklareli, Korukoy, Derekoy and the land up to the Bulgarian border developed on metagranites, quartz-quartzitic sediments, chlorite schists, talc schists, dolomites, cyanites, have been studied as the soils in between the forest areas for their agricultural potentials. The clay mineral assemblages of the soils located at the west of the Yildiz Mountains revealed the presence of illite, vermiculite, smectite, chlorite and kaolinite that have indicated their influence on the fertility of these soils. Thus, the soils of the area are in need of appropriate management plans. The typical properties of the soils studied are: the absence of salinity and carbonate contents, the low amounts of organic matter, the deficiency in P and K which most probably is due to the leaching under acid conditions, the dominantly loamy textures and the pH varying from weakly to strong acid. The priority in the management of these soils should therefore be the application of an appropriate fertilization programme along with soil liming. In addition, some soils may need deep ripping and tillage.
