CHARACTERISTICS OF FLUVISOLS IN SAND AND GRAVEL DEPOSIT “KRIVA BARA”, SOFIA, BULGARIA
Journal Title: Екологично инженерство и опазване на околната среда - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents results of an investigation on Fluvisols located in “Kriva Bara” Sofia, Bulgaria. Soil samples were taken from sixteen soil profiles. The soil physical and chemical properties were studied. The changes in physical and chemical properties at varying soil depths were studied and the relationships among different soil characteristics were tested by correlation analysis. The results revealed that some soil characteristics, such as soil texture, porosity and TKN, changed strongly with soil depth, either negatively or positively, while such relationships were moderately expressed or statistically insignificant in the case of other soil characteristics, such as soil reaction (pH), CaCO3, silt content. There were significant correlations between the physical and chemical soil properties in 49 out of 78 cases.
