“…This is in agreement with reports of other authors (Ganuza and Almendros 2003;Sanesi and Certini 2005;Dümig et al 2008;Läßiger et al 2008;Spaargaren 2008), who also showed that Umbrisols are relatively common in the mountains and highlands characterised by humid climate, biomass-rich vegetation and carbonate-free parent material. However, Umbrisols were also reported in the lowlands (Kristiansen and Greve 2003;OEwitoniak et al 2014;Jenèo et al 2018). Due to more strict criteria of the umbrik horizon implemented in the SGP6 (Kaba³a et al 2019), i.e.…”

The aim of the study was to test the suitability of the 6th edition of Polish Soil Classification (SGP6) in reflecting the typical features of subalpine Bieszczady Mts. soils in comparison with the 5th edition of Polish Soil Classification (SGP5) and the newest version of World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB). Five soil profiles located in differentiated in terms of the parent material, topography and vegetation conditions of the natural environment were investigated. On the basis of described morphology and determined properties soils were classified according to different soil classifications. All soils under study were featured by presence of thick A horizons and high content of soil organic carbon accumulated even very deep in the profiles. Some of the mineral topsoil layers were classified as umbric/umbrik horizons. Moreover cambic/kambik horizons were present and in some cases also weak redoximorphic features occurred. The SGP6 enabled to distinguish soils with a thick, organic carbon-rich A horizons as umbrisols, a newly created subtype of grey soils. Furthermore, the soil taxonomic position according to SGP6 was more detailed in relation to the soil trophic status (in case of brown soils) and occurrence of weak redoximorphic features. That was reflected in number of subtypes to which analyzed soils were classified – 4 in SGP6 vs 2 in SGP5.

“…In umbrisols, the water-logging process involves alternating oxidation and a reduction in soil caused by the seasonal rise and fall of groundwater, leading to the formation of Fe-Mn nodules or rust spots and other new bodies. This process is common in the umbrisols, with a high groundwater level in the valley plain, and is the main geochemical feature of umbrisol formation [43]. The Dongliaohe River valley plain has a long history of rice cultivation.…”

Excessive levels of Fe, Mn and As are the main factors affecting groundwater quality in Songliao plain, northeast China. However, there are few studies on the source and mobilization mechanisms of Fe, Mn and As in the groundwater of Northeastern China. This study takes Shuangliao city in the middle of Songliao plain as an example, where the source and mobilization mechanisms of iron, manganese and arsenic in groundwater in the study area were analyzed by statistical methods and spatial analysis. The results show that the source of Fe and Mn in the groundwater of the platform is the iron and manganese nodules in the clay layer, while, in the river valley plain, it originates from the soil and the whole aquifer. The TDS, fluctuation in groundwater levels and the residence time are the important factors affecting the content of Fe and Mn in groundwater. The dissolution of iron and manganese minerals causes arsenic adsorbed on them to be released into groundwater. This study provides a basis for the rational utilization of groundwater and protection of people’s health in areas with high iron, manganese and arsenic contents.

“…The formation of umbric horizon is favoured by the carbonate-free bedrock and the climatic conditions occurring in the mountain areas (high amount of rainfall, low temperature). Therefore, this horizon is often identified in the soils of mountain areas (Balaceanu et al, 1987;Sanesi and Certini, 2005;Drewnik, 2008;Bedrna, 2009;Turrión et al, 2009;Bedrna et al, 2009Bedrna et al, , 2010Dlapa et al, 2010;Vasiliniuc et al, 2010;Chodorowski et al, 2012;Hudec and Hreško, 2013;Musielok et al, 2013Musielok et al, , 2019Barannyk, 2016;Jenčo et al, 2018).

In the soils of non-forest biotopes of the Tatra National Park, derived from acid parent materials, in very cool and moderately cold climatic zones, horizons that meet the criteria adopted for the diagnostic horizon umbric occur very often. The paper compares the taxonomic position of soils in non-forest biotopes of the Tatra National Park with the umbric horizon according to World Reference Base for Soil Resources from 2015 (WRB) and the sixth edition of the Polish Soil Classifi cation from 2019 (SGP). In SGP, the supremacy of the umbrik horizon in the key for determining soil units and a thickness criterion other than in WRB for this horizon (≥ 30 cm) were assumed. The consequence of this is the participation of various types and subtypes of the studied soils, defi ned according to SGP, in the groups of soils belonging, according to WRB, to: Umbric Leptosols, Umbric Podzols and Umbrisols. In the Leptosols group there are: typical rankers and humic rankers, in the Podzols group: podzolic umbrisols and humic latent podzolic soils, and in the Umbrisols group: umbrisols and humic regosols. It was proposed to introduce umbrisols as a type in the order of black soils to the soil classifi cation in Poland. Currently, in SGP, umbrisols are one of the subtypes of gray soils, belonging to black soils. It was also suggested that the subtype of humus rankers should include rankers in which the total thickness of the Oh (not meeting the thickness criterion of folik) and A horizons is 20 cm or more.
