The landscape of the study area (fig. 1,2) is underlain by coversand, deposited during the Late Glacial of the Weichselian. In the Preboreal, aeolian processes reduced soil formation (Stichting voor Bodemkaratering, 1972) and from the Preboreal to the Atlantic a deciduous climax forest developed (Janssen, 1974). The geomorphology was a coversand landscape, composed of ridges (umbric podzols), c...

Although fertility capability classification (FCC) has high performance in land evaluation and soil maps interpretation, so far it has been less attended in land evaluation studies. Therefore, qualitative (FCC method) and quantitative (Riquer index) land fertility capability evaluation for Wheat and Rice cultivation and comparison of Soil Taxonomy and WRB classification with FCC were chosen as ...

The environmental impact of deposit development can be indirect and cause combined geochemical processes in ecosystems. These must taken into consideration under forecasting risk assessment. Soil degradation the Taiga Forest is considered, within area Verkhnekamskoye potash (Russia), as an example such transformation. Here, mechanism characteristics anthropogenic salinisation alluvial soils are...
