Study of podzolization process under different vegetation cover in the Jizerské hory Mts. region.

open access: yesSoil and Water Research, 2013
The development of Podzols is conditioned by many factors. One of them is vegetation cover. The aim of this study was to examine in detail special chemical properties, micromorphological features and water retention ability of Podzols under two different

Biogeochemical asymmetry and the diversification of tropical rain forests in Borneo: The endmember hypothesis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 4-14, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mixed dipterocarp lowland tropical rain forests on Oxisols and Ultisols and heath forests on Spodosols are considered distinct vegetation types in Borneo. Here we present the endmember hypothesis of ecosystem diversification, which describes a continuum of forest ...

Diagnostic criteria for lessivage of profile-differentiated soils of the Precarpathian region (Ukraine)

open access: yesDie Bodenkultur, 2020
Profile-differentiated soils of the Precarpathian region were formed due to the combined effect of such processes as podzolization, lessivage, gley-eluvium. For the diagnosis of these soils, researchers have used different diagnostic features.

Wildfire, salvage logging and warming: Their interactive effects on boreal conifer reforestation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2657-2675, October 2025.
This study demonstrates that artificial regeneration through planting can support forest recovery following wildfire, especially under high fire severity in sites where natural regeneration is poor. Salvage logging can enhance the growth of P. sylvestris seedlings and indirectly benefit P.

The humus profile of an alpine ericaceous heath (Savoie, France): A high‐resolution micromorphological analysis

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 89, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The characteristics used to distinguish between Mor and Moder differ among the various classifications of humus forms. Mor is often associated with ericaceous heathland that develops at high altitude or latitude, or in lowlands when soils are nutrient‐poor, sandy, and acidic.

Soil Microbial Populations Shift as Processes Protecting Organic Matter Change During Podzolization

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
In the upper part of the solum of mineral soils, soil organic and mineral constituents co-evolve through pedogenesis, that in turn impacts the transformation and stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM).

Early departures and delayed arrivals: Holocene dynamics of temperate tree species in the boreal‐temperate ecotone

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 9, Page 2460-2475, September 2025.
As temperate tree species require warmer temperatures than boreal species, some thermophilous species, such as white pine, increased in abundance at their northern edge during historically warmer periods. Our data reveal that not all temperate species behaved accordingly: maples were scarce during the warm mid‐Holocene, while their abundance increased ...

Theory of elementary soil-forming processes of I.P. Gerasimov and its manifestations in diverse natural zones

open access: yesБюллетень Почвенного института им. В.В. Докучаева, 2015
The theory of elementary soil-forming processes (ESP) proposed by Academician I.P. Gerasimov is discussed both in its initial version, and in its advanced perception in the beginning of XXI century. The progress and success of this theory is highlighted.

Agropastoral possibilism and the trajectorial affordances of Danish inland heaths: a study of deep‐time entrapment Possibilisme agropastoral et affordances des trajectoires dans les landes de l'arrière‐pays danois : une étude des entraves dans le passé lointain

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue 3, Page 850-873, September 2025.
History does not unfold along a single trajectory, and yet the socioecological configuration of landscapes may narrow the directions history can take. This article develops a framework for assessing the directionality of history in a (pre)historic heath landscape in Denmark.

Podzolization as studied from terraces of various ages in two river valleys, Northern Finland.

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 1988
The study was made in the Ivalojoki and Oulankajoki valleys, consisting of terraces of well sorted sandy material aged 9500–300 B.P. The vegetation is characterized by dry and moderately dry forest types with Scots pine ( L.) as the dominant tree ...
