In a clear-felled area, soil moisture dynamics was monitored after principal felling of a spruce stand. The locality is situated in the forest complex of the Rájec-Jestřebí Forest Enterprise, the district of Blansko. Altitude 620 m, latitude 49° 26m 31s N, longitude 16° 41m 20s E. It is a case of a gentle slope, SE aspect. After felling, whole trees including crowns were skidded and the clearcut was planted with Norway spruce seedlings by a new technology using a PH 4 – 010 disk furrow planter. The direction of planting furrows followed the contour lines and the spacing of plants was 2.5 x 2.0 m. Soil moisture dynamics was measured by the capacity method from April 1979 to October 1986 mainly with a week periodicity. The soil profile is formed by typical Cambisol on weathered granodiorite with the moder form of forest floor. As far as the soil texture is concerned upper part of the soil profile to a depth of up to 45 cm is a rather heavy-textured loamy soil changing into a light-textured sandy soil towards lower horizons. The measurement point proper is formed by two probes (novodur /PVC/ casing) inserted to a depth of 110 cm. One probe is placed in a furrow after the planting machine and the second one between furrows in an intact soil profile. After calibration and determination of soil-moisture constants, recorded values of soil moisture were converted to reserve soil moisture (in mm) for profiles 0–40 cm and 0–100 cm. A comparison of resultant monthly values of reserve soil moisture in both measurement points by statistical methods revealed that at the place of a furrow after the planting machine there is a markedly more favourable dynamics of soil moisture as against the neighbouring intact terrain/soil. Moreover, surface runoff on the disturbed soil surface of skidding tracks, unfavourable with respect to potential erosion, was also eliminated. The applied technology of planting has a favourable effect on soil moisture dynamics on the given site.
