Urban anthropogenic soils (UASs) are soils formed by:(1) Metapedogenesis, in which
human additions of organic matter transform a pre-existing natural soil into a new profile …

Research is revealing an increasing number of positive effects of nature for humans. At the
same time, biodiversity in cities, where most humans live, is often low or in decline. Tangible …

Cation exchange capacity and base saturation are of crucial importance for soil
characterisation and classification; however, the interchangeability of soil data for …

A review of publications on soils of botanical gardens forming in different landscape
conditions and approaches to their classification is presented. Transformation of the soil …

The soil microbiome in urban agriculture has not received much attention to date despite its

For a long time, the soils covering areas strongly transformed by human were ignored in
scientifi c discourse. Also, practice did not care much about these soils because of their …

Taking into account the fact that (a) measurement of the cation exchange capacity and base
saturation is practically unavailable in the field, that formally makes impossible the reliable …

The public green space (PGS) in urban areas presents an image of nature and its animal
and plant biodiversity in the city. Due to intense urbanization in the world, pollutants such as …

Landscape metrics play an important role in pedodiversity studies. Despite considerable
research on pedodiversity, there is a lack of standardised methods for assessing the degree …

Soils in botanical gardens play a crucial role as they condition the growth and vegetation of
huge diversity of plant species on relatively small areas. Creating favourable habitats for the …
