Abstract	Auf typischen Waldstandorten des Tegernseer Flyschgebietes (Bayerische Alpen) wurden repräsentative Böden klassifiziert, standortskundlich zu charakterisiert und hinsichtlich Eignung für Anbau und Wachstum der Buche bewertet. Hierzu wurden 7 Bodenprofile in der hochmontanen Stufe ausgewählt. Folgende 3 Faktoren wurden in der Untersuchung kombiniert, sofern die Faktorenkombinationen in der Natur anzutreffen waren: buchenreiche versus nadelbaumdominierte Bestände, sandige vs. mergelige Ausgangssubstrate, Sonnseite vs. Schattseite. Diese repräsentativen Bodenprofile wurden mit Standardmethoden auf bodenchemische und bodenphysikalische Kennwerte untersucht.Die tiefgründig-lockeren, humusreichen (Podsol)-Braunerden aus sandigem Substrat benachteiligen trotz stark saurer Reaktion und geringer Basensättigung im Mineralboden (<10%) das Vorkommen der Buche weder an Sonn- noch an Schatthängen; sie ist hier regelmäßig stark vertreten und wüchsig. Eine Säure- oder Nährstoffmangel-Grenze für die Buche existiert im Untersuchungsgebiet offensichtlich nicht. Auch auf durchlässigen, höchstens im Unterboden schwach hangpseudovergleyten Böden aus Mergelsubstrat gedeiht sie bis an ihre klimatische Höhenverbreitungsgrenze gut. Nur auf bis in den Oberboden langfristig vernässten und kalten Hang-, Nass- und Anmoorgleyen tritt sie zurück oder fehlt ganz trotz reichlicher Nährstoffvorräte.The present study sought to characterize the soils of typical sites in the Flysch region around the Tegernsee and to evaluate their suitability for the growth of European beech. For this purpose 7 soil profiles located in the higher mountain zone were sampled. 3 site factors were taken into consideration while selecting the sample plots in order to allow comparison of beech. vs. conifer-dominated stands, sandy vs. marly substrates and northern vs. southern slopes. Representative soils were analyzed with standard laboratory procedures to determine their chemical and physical characteristics.On deep and loose (Podsol-) Braunerde soils (dystric cambisols) rich in humus and derived from sandstone parent rock, beech occurs regularly in the study area and grows well on both slope positions despite of the acidic reaction and low base saturation in the mineral soil (<10%). Neither strong acidity nor low base cation and phophorus concentrations exclude the species. Beech also grows vigorously on well-drained non-hydromorphic soils derived from marly sediments and siltstones or claystones. Up to its altitudinal limit, only periodically wet and cold, insufficiently drained gleysols appear to severely limit beech growth although these soils are comparably rich in nutrients.
