The development of forest steppe and steppe chernozems on the Dniester-Prut interfluve in the Holocene was studied on the basis of data on the paleosols buried under archaeological monuments of differ ent ages. The parameters of the mathematic models of the development of the soil humus horizons in differ ent subtypes of chernozems were calculated. They were used to determine the rate of this process and the age of the soils formed on the surface of Trajan's lower rampart. The climate controlled changes in the character of the soil's development in the Late Holocene were differently pronounced in the different subtypes of cher nozems. The suggested differentiation of the trends in the development of the humus horizon in the studied chernozems corresponds to the differences in the soil forming potential of particular areas (as judged from the energy consumption for pedogenesis).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
