Impact of Car Traffic on Metal Accumulation in Soils and Plants Growing Close to a Motorway (Eastern Slovakia) [PDF]
Toxics, 2022 The paper evaluates the impact of car transport on the distribution and accumulation of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd in soils, as well as in the vegetation near a newly built R4 motorway Košice-Milhosť (Slovakia). Samples were taken from surface humus layer (litter)

MICROMORPHOLOGY OF THREE GRAY LUVISOLS IN EAST-CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 1985 Micromorphology of three Gray Luvisolic soils under Boreal Forests occurring on late Wisconsinan age glacial till were studied. Profiles 1 and 2 occurred on loam with 8–10% carbonates; Profile 3 on clay loam till with 58% carbonates. The presence of various fecal pellets shows the importance of soil fauna in the decomposition of litter and the ...

Characteristics of acric luvisol on Magleš limestones [PDF]
Glasnik Šumarskog Fakulteta: Univerzitet u Beogradu, 2006 Very deep soils with clearly differentiated two-layered profile physiography were studied on the limestones of the mountain Magleš. The very marked morphological differentiation of the profile is followed by significant textural differences and the ...

Enzymatic Activity and Physicochemical Properties of Soil Profiles of Luvisols [PDF]
Materials, 2021 Most studies on soil enzymes are focused on the upper horizons of the soil profile, even though they transform the soil organic matter at every depth of the soil profile. The aim of this work was to investigate the distribution of β-glucosidase (GLU), nitrate reductase (NR), urease (UR), phosphatase (PHA), dehydrogenase (DHA) and catalase (CAT ...

Canadian Journal of Soil Science, 2023 With respect to the pedosphere, human activities in the last 100 years have been the major driver of soil change. Despite human activities being one of the main soil forming factors recognized by soil scientists (in addition to climate, organisms, parent material, relief, groundwater, and time), the Canadian System of Soil Classification (CSSC ...
