Soil development in anthropogenically disturbed forest-steppe landscapes

The results of long-term studies of chernozem development in anthropogenically disturbed landscapes of the forest-steppe zone are discussed. Parameters characterizing the formation of the humus horizon of chernozems and the rate of this process are presented. Critical points and characteristic times of the formation of humus horizons are determined. The regeneration of soil properties as dependent on the degree of anthropogenic disturbance of chernozems is estimated

Resoiling on anthropogenically disturbed surfaces in the southern taiga subzone

Based on investigating dated anthropogenic structures, we present the results derived from studying the development features of soddy podzolic soils over the course of the first 600 years from the zero time of soil formation. A commonness of the chronological regularities has been ascertained for the reproduction of morphological structure of soddy podzolic and chernozemic soilsyesBelgorod State Universit

Evaluation of Carbon Assimilation by Regenerating Soils of the Central Black Earth Region of Russia

The study presents the options for the estimation of soil assimilation rates with carbon regenerating after an anthropogenic influence in the Central Black Earth region of Russia. The evaluation methodology is based on the use of mathematical models of the trend component processes for the humus horizon and humus accumulation development in Forest-Steppe Black Earth area

Habitation layers and pedogenic processes in forest-steppe riverine valleys west of the don: the case of iIyinka

A mesolithic site with an intrusive early medieval burial at Ilyinka in the Don basin is described. On the basis of soil analysis, environment and climate are reconstructed with reference to chronology and cultural attributio

Features of soil organic carbon transformations in the southern area of the East European Plain

The active development of the problems related to the assessment of the role of the pedosphere in global climate change involves the possibility of application of the quantitative determination of soil organic carbon (SOC) as one of the indicators of a climatic response. Here, the authors have summarized the results of their own research over many years (1985-2023), comprising more than 500 determinations of SOC within the area of the Chernozem zone, in the south of the East European Plai
