GRAY FOREST SOILS OF MOLDOVA'S CODRY: FEATURES OF MINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION AND ITS TRANSFORMATION

Full Text:

Abstract

At first a comparative study of mineralogical status of gray forest soils of Codry and xerophytic forest chernozems showed the presence of heterogeneity of parent rock complicating diagnostics of mineralogical transformations associated with soil formation. Despite the difficulties with the diagnostics in gray forest soils features of processes combination were found by the type of podzolization and lessivage with transfer into illuvial horizon predominantly of smectite and illite. Transformation of silicate base of soil is due to loss of substance and relative accumulation of resistant quartz, illite and kaolinite.
