Paleocryomorphic Soils of the Center of the East European Plain as Archives of Paleoecological Natural Events

摘要

The spatial variability of magnetic susceptibility in paleocryomorphic soils of the center of the East European Plain was studied in the work. It was established that magnetic susceptibility distribution in modern soils is closely associated with paleocryogenic structures located at the depth of 2 m and lower. Magnetic susceptibility topoisopleths allow to judge on the formation and the existence of various, especially strong magnetic iron oxides and conclude on soil formation conditions. The magnetic susceptibility survey allowed to identify a number of indicators that are hard to detect in the field.
