“…Although many authors reported the transformation of drained alluvial soils towards the development of mollic or cambic horizons, which excluded these soils from Fluvisols group according to the statements of WRB classification, Fluvisols are still reported from regulated and drained valleys [10][11][12]32,54,55]. This may indicate that many authors still apply the term "Fluvisols" as a synonym of alluvial soils on the Holocene river terraces, irrespective of the actual stage of their pedogenic transformation.…”

“…One of the most important factors in the variability of valley and/or floodplain ecosystems are soils composed of spatially and vertically differentiated alluvial sediments [6][7][8]. Sedimentation conditions can significantly change over time; therefore, stratification is a basic feature of valley/floodplain soils, affecting their physicochemical and water properties, as well as the productivity of alluvial soils [9][10][11][12]. Moreover, the sequences of sediment layers and soil horizons in the soil profiles on floodplain terraces demonstrate the successions of stable periods with distinct pedogenesis and unstable (i.e., geomorphologically active) periods, in which fresh alluvial layers were accumulated [6,13].…”

“…The elimination of floods and lowering of the groundwater table allow deeper penetration of the soil by plant roots, soil fauna, and microorganisms, and these changes also create more favorable conditions for the agricultural use of soils [30][31][32]. The transformation of the morphology and properties of agriculturally used alluvial soils in Poland and Central Europe has already been extensively characterized [7,10,12,13,[33][34][35], whereas the studies in the forest areas have primarily focused on the phytosociological transformation of plant communities and changes in tree stand productivity, with the transformation of soils remaining insufficiently documented. Meanwhile, the proper recognition of the phenomena occurring in all components of the forest habitat is the basis for a wise, environmentally-oriented planning of the sustainable, long-term forest management.…”

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, thus creating favorable conditions for advanced pedogenesis. Although the changes of the morphology and properties of agriculturally used drained alluvial soils in Central Europe have been well characterized, studies in riparian forests remain insufficient. An analysis of 21 profiles of forest soils located on the Holocene river terrace (a floodplain before river regulation and embankment) in SW Poland confirmed a noticeable pedogenic transformation of soil morphology and properties resulting from river regulation. Gleyic properties were in most profiles replaced with stagnic properties, testifying to a transition from dominant groundwater supply to precipitation-water supply. The development of a diagnostic mollic and cambic horizons, correlated with the shift in soil classification from Fluvisols to Phaeozems, and in the majority, to Cambisols, demonstrated a substantial change in habitat conditions. The transformation of alluvial soils may result in an inevitable modification of forest management in the river valley, including quantitative alteration in species composition of primarily riparian forests.

“…and 'depressive' Żuławy situated below sea level were distinguished (Witek, 1965;Piaścik et al, 2000). Alluvial soils are the soils that show great variability in terms of morphology, physicochemical properties, water retention properties and productivity (Skuodiene et al, 2016;Kercheva et al, 2017;Dezső et al, 2019;Gajić, 2020). They occur in river valleys and delta areas, and show large spatial differentiation (Ligęza, 2016).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the sorptive and air-water properties of alluvial soils of the Vistula and Pasłęka deltas, typologically differentiated in terms of habitat conditions, and to determine their agricultural values. Typical ordinary alluvial soils, humic ordinary alluvial soils, and typical brown alluvial soils were developed from loam, sandy loam and silty clay loam and were located in the oldest part of Żuławy, i.e. 'high' Żuławy (from + 2.5 to + 10.0 m a.s.l.). Typical chernozemic alluvial soils and gleyic chernozemic alluvial soils were formed mainly from silt clay, silt loam and clay loam. They were located mainly in the area of 'transitional' Żuławy (from 0.0 to + 2.5 m a.s.l.), 'low' Żuławy (less than 0.0 m a.s.l.) and in the Pasłęka delta. Chernozemic alluvial soils had greater cation exchange capacity, including base cations, than brown and ordinary alluvial soils. The least favorable air-water relationships were found in ordinary alluvial soils. The volume of macropores in arable horizons of these soils ranged from 3.1% to 4.5%. The ratio of macro-to meso-and micropores was wide: 1: 4.0-5.5: 3.6-5.4, while in chernozemic alluvial soils it was 1: 1.8-2.9: 2.5-3.8. The most favorable air-water relationships were found in arable horizons of typical brown alluvial soils, in which the macro-to meso-and micropores ratio was 1.0: 1.9: 0.7. Ordinary and brown alluvial soils were of 'high' Żuławy were properly or periodically excessively moist, and they are mainly classifi ed as good and medium good arable soils, class RIIIa and RIIIb, of the good wheat soil-agricultural complex. The chernozemic alluvial soils of 'depressive' Żuławy were periodically excessively moist, periodically wet, or permanently wet in the depressive parts of the land. These soils are mainly classifi ed as arable soils medium good, class RIIIb and medium value arable soils, classes RIVa and RIVb, of good wheat soil-agricultural complex and strong forage soilagricultural complex. The alluvial soils particularly rich in fi ne silt and clay fractions (over 60%) in depressive areas should be used as permanent grasslands. The conducted research has shown that the soil conditions in the delta areas of the Vistula and Pasłęka river mouths are closely related to the origin and land hypsometry, which differentiates the water conditions, the grain size of soil formations, their type and thickness.
