In this paper we focused on the micromorphology of the Late and Middle Pleistocene paleosols exposed in twelve loess-paleosol sequences sections in the central part of the East European Plain. Each studied paleosol complex known as Mesin (MIS 5), Kamenka (MIS 6 (8) -7 ( 9)), and Inzhavino (MIS 8 (10) -9 (11)) pedocomplexes (PCs) consists typically of two members, the earlier -main -phase of the soil development taking place during an interglacial, and the later one -at the subsequent interstadial time. Interglacial paleosols formation is associated with the thermal optimum of climatic macrocycles and corresponds to conditions close to modern in the territory under consideration. Interstadial paleosols formation characterizes the intervals within the glacial period, accompanied by an increase in heat and moisture. However, the heat supply of such intervals did not reach modern level in this region (Velichko and Morozova 2015). As follows from the analysis of the soil micromorphology over the studied area, the soil microstructure experienced notable changes under changing latitudinal zonality. During the interglacial periods clay coatings and Fe-Mn pedofeatures dominated the soil microfabric; in the south loesspaleosol sequences coatings are in negligible quantities, Fe-Mn pedofeatures decrease in amount, and carbonate pedofeatures appear instead. In the microfabric of the interstadial paleosols, Fe-Mn pedofeatures are abundant, but unlike interglacial paleosols, the coatings are rare. Basically, the coatings are humus-clayey in composition, but in the more southern sections coatings are absent.

“…Moreover, it defines and controls the behaviour of the whole soil system through reactions of sorption and desorption, fixation and exchange of cations and other particles, fixation of the number of organic components, reactions of hydration and dehydration, hydrolysis, etc. (Chizhikova et al, 2007). The main anti-erosion properties of soils depend on the composition and interrelation between the basic mineral phases of the clay minerals, particularly their water-retaining capacity, moisture capacity, water permeability, adhesiveness, plasticity, structure forming ability, adhesion force between the (Alekseev, 2012).…”

“…Various components of the clay material, which react appropriately on external stimuli and are the solid phase product of the biogeocenosis irreversible in its changes, are the memory of soil. Thus, they store information on ancient and modern conditions of soil functioning (Chizhikova and Gradusov, 1995;Chizhikova, Morozova and Panin ., 2007).…”

Women in traditional societies have a close connection with the environment through their roles as farmers, collectors of water and firewood, caregivers to livestock and, sometimes, as priestesses and healers. The gender roles assigned in traditional societies bring women into direct contact with the natural resources for management of their daily household chores. Therefore, any loss of biodiversity has a direct impact on the lives of women, families and society at large. In the context of the Karbis, a major ethnic group of Assam, India, forests are central to their worldview and all aspects of their socio-cultural life. It is important to note that the Karbi belief system gives reverence to nature worship and the forest deities are called Longri Arnam. As such, sacred groves are among one of the best practices of biodiversity conservation that are also associated with traditional knowledge systems in different ecological zones. They are preserved mainly through observance of taboos and animistic rituals. In recent times, forest degradation has become a major concern and it is necessary to understand the role of traditional knowledge systems vis-a-vis their relation to ecological heritage and conservation. This paper examines the ways in which women in Karbi society have directly or indirectly acted as agents of environmental conservation. Using historical methodology, the study attempts to analyze interface between women and environment in the society with special reference to women’s contribution to the society in combating climate change.
