GRAY FOREST SOILS OF MOLDOVA'S CODRY: BALANCE OF MINERALS

Abstract

Differences in the balance of minerals in gray forest soils of Moldova's Codry and xerophytic forest chernozems are associated with inhomogeneity of rocks and the presence of lessivage and podzolization in gray forest soils. Taking into account the influence of heterogeneity of rocks the total loss of primary and clay minerals in them amounted to 8-25 kg, positive balance in the illuvial part of the profile - 3-82 kg/100 kg of rock. The reason of minerals balance calculation with heterogeneity of rocks is in the assessment of its impact on the volume of changes of soil mineralogy and the opportunity of diagnostics of the processes occurring in them.
