The studied soil profile under the Main Market Square (MMS) in Krakow was characterised
by the influence of medieval metallurgical activity. In the presented soil section lithological …

The overall impact of individual environmental factors on the content of soil organic carbon
(SOC) is well known, but the simultaneous impacts of natural and anthropogenic factors on …

In the subalpine mountainous region of southwest China, the artificial soil properties of
restored cut slopes along the altitude gradient were studied, including available nitrogen …

In this study, ten stratified calcium carbonate–rich soil profiles from the Polish Outer
Carpathians were investigated in order to identity the influence of parent material variability …

The gradients of soil physicochemical properties along mountain slopes and across climate-
elevation gradients were studied in the Karkonosze Mountains, focusing on the human …

Background and aims Ultramafic soils constitute an extreme environment for plants because
of specific physico-chemical properties and the presence of Ni, Cr, and Co. We …

Both the international ISO standard and modern soil classifications and databases require
soil pH measurement at a 1: 5 soil: solution ratio, while the ratio 1: 2.5 is still the most …

Stable isotope compositions of pedogenic clay minerals can be used as a paleoclimatic
proxy. The underlying fundamental assumption is that pedogenic clays are formed in isotope …

Pedogenic minerals reflect the environmental conditions that prevailed during soil formation.
The present study investigates the clay mineral composition of the fine clay fraction …

Colluvisols, representing an important soil unit in erosion-affected landscapes, undergo a
complex development with alternating phases of material deposition and slope stability, with …
