Effects of Forest Cultures on morphology and Properties of Artificaial Deeply Plowed Soil

摘要

The influence of spruce, Siberian stone pine, Scotch pine, larch, birch, and aspen plantations growing in similar ecological conditions on the artificial deeply plowed substrates on soil formation is considered. The accumulative soil horizons characteristic of the native gray forest soils have been formed in 25 years. Under the influence of the forest cultures, the content of organic matter in soils significantly increased compared to the initial soil substrate. The exchangeable bases' content remained the same. A tendency toward acidification of the soil solution is noted.
