PROPERTIES OF ACID BROWN SOILS DEVELOPED FROM SANDSTONES OF THE SWIETOKRZYSKI REGION

摘要

Analysed were forest soils developed from Silurian, Devonian, Triassic and Jurassic sandstones. The analysis of the results reveals a significant effect of the type of sandstone on the depth of studied soils and their properties. Tested soils were characterized by a strongly acid reaction and a low degree of saturation with basic cations (between 10 and 35%). In the top horizons were found increased concentrations of zinc, copper and lead in relation to the parent rock concentrations.
