The majority of studies concerning the environmental behavior of hydrophobic pollutants in
soil consider soil organic matter (SOM) content as a main factor influencing chemical …

Thin loess deposits are widespread soil parent materials and important archives for
paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The origin of loess in SW Poland is attributed to the …

Climate-driven shifts in soil temperature and soil moisture are crucial factors that control the
ecosystem-atmosphere greenhouse gas (GHG) balance. In the present study, the …

Among the clay-illuviated soils, dominant in the loess belt in southern Poland, islands of
chernozemic soils are distinguished by their spectacular agricultural productivity. However …

This study aims to assess the characteristics of humic acids (HAs) in floodplain soils. HAs
were isolated from the Fluvisols located out of the embankment in the riparian forest …

The elimination of flooding and lowering of the groundwater table after large-scale river
regulation allow deep penetration of soils by plant roots, soil fauna, and microorganisms …

Texturally bipartite and stagno-gleyed Planosols are becoming more commonly reported
from the temperate climate zone. Although ferrolysis is widely accepted as the major process …

This paper evaluates the possible contribution of aeolian silt to soils of Mt. Ślęża (southwest
Poland). Silt loam textures are common across Lower Silesia and are often confused with silt …

This study investigates the scale of inheritance of signatures typical of loess-and basalt-
derived substrates in soils having both components present as parent material due to past …

The unfavourable environmental conditions to Chernozem development in Central Europe
has led to questions regarding their origin and age, and conditions necessary for …
