SOILS UNDER BEECH IN THE KODRY HILLS

Journal Title: Soil Forming Factors from the Temperate Zone - Year 2008, Vol 7, Issue 1

Abstract

In the Kodry Hills, small areas of virgin beech forests stands are preserved. These beech groves are developed on specific intrazonal lithomorphic soils. The mineralogical composition of substrate impedes the development of eluvial−illuvial processes and leaching of carbonates typical of the zonal soils that form under broad-leaved forests. The soils under study belong to the group of rendzic soils and can be referred to as marly rendzinas (or pseudorendzinas).
