They are variously called Terra Rossa (on hard limestone) and Red Mediterranean Soils. Not all soils in a Mediterranean environment are, however, qualified as such because normal pedogenetic development may be hampered by erosion (rejuvenation of the profile), lack of time, and lack of water or unfavorable parent material characteristics. The impact of climate, topography, parent material (mineralogical composition, coherence and permeability), time and human influence as soil forming factors is discussed.

  • Diversity and Classification Problems of Sandy Soils in Subboreal Zone (Central Europe, Poland)
    Diversity and classification problems of sandy soils in subboreal zone (Central Europe, Poland) Michał Jankowski Faculty of Biology and Earth Sciences, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland, Email [email protected] Abstract The aim of this study was to present some examples of sandy soils and to discuss their position in soil systematics. 8 profiles represent: 4 soils widely distributed in postglacial landscapes of Poland (Central Europe), typical for different geomorphological conditions and vegetation habitats (according to regional soil classification: Arenosol, Podzolic soil, Rusty soil and Mucky soil) and 4 soils having unusual features (Gleyic Podzol and Rusty soil developed in a CaCO 3-rich substratum and two profiles of red-colored Ochre soils). According to WRB (IUSS Working Group WRB, 2007), almost all of these soils can be named Arenosols. Considering their individual morphological features (stage of development, sequence of horizons) and different ecological value, most of the studied soils should be classified into other Reference Soil Groups or even distinguished in individual units. Key Words Soil classification, Soil geography, Soil morphology, Arenosols, Podzols, Sand. Introduction Soils developed from loose quartz sands generally represent the least fertile mineral soils in the World. According to WRB soil classification (IUSS Working Group WRB 2007), one genetic variant - Podzols - is distinguished as individual unit from that textural group of soils. Most of the other sandy soils can only be classified as Arenosols, irrespective to their development rate, soil horizons sequence or ecological properties. Such arrangement does not reflect the real diversity of sandy soils, especially in comparison to the number of divisions covering soils of heavier texture.

  • Alteration of Rocks by Endolithic Organisms Is One of the Pathways for the Beginning of Soils on Earth Received: 19 September 2017 Nikita Mergelov1, Carsten W
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Alteration of rocks by endolithic organisms is one of the pathways for the beginning of soils on Earth Received: 19 September 2017 Nikita Mergelov1, Carsten W. Mueller 2, Isabel Prater 2, Ilya Shorkunov1, Andrey Dolgikh1, Accepted: 7 February 2018 Elya Zazovskaya1, Vasily Shishkov1, Victoria Krupskaya3, Konstantin Abrosimov4, Published: xx xx xxxx Alexander Cherkinsky5 & Sergey Goryachkin1 Subaerial endolithic systems of the current extreme environments on Earth provide exclusive insight into emergence and development of soils in the Precambrian when due to various stresses on the surfaces of hard rocks the cryptic niches inside them were much more plausible habitats for organisms than epilithic ones. Using an actualistic approach we demonstrate that transformation of silicate rocks by endolithic organisms is one of the possible pathways for the beginning of soils on Earth. This process led to the formation of soil-like bodies on rocks in situ and contributed to the raise of complexity in subaerial geosystems. Endolithic systems of East Antarctica lack the noise from vascular plants and are among the best available natural models to explore organo-mineral interactions of a very old “phylogenetic age” (cyanobacteria-to-mineral, fungi-to-mineral, lichen-to-mineral). On the basis of our case study from East Antarctica we demonstrate that relatively simple endolithic systems of microbial and/or cryptogamic origin that exist and replicate on Earth over geological time scales employ the principles of organic matter stabilization strikingly similar to those known for modern full-scale soils of various climates. Te pedosphere emergence is attributed to the most ancient forms of terrestrial life in the Early Precambrian which strongly aided the abiotic decay of rocks.

  • The Digital Soil Map of the World
    THE DIGITAL SOIL MAP OF THE WORLD FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Version 3.6, completed January 2003 (C) FAO/UNESCO, 1995 All rights reserved worldwide. Background The present version (3.6) of the digitized Soil Map of the World has been cleaned of errors both in the database and in the lines constituting the digitized map itself. The original map sheets covering the Americas are in bipolar oblique conformal projection. The other sheets, covering Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia, are based on the Miller oblated stereographic projection; a system consisting of three conformal projections centred on each continent, joined together in a continuous fashion by so-called "fill-in" projections. This allows a complete angular continuity between all sheets. The soil map was prepared using the topographic map series of the American Geographical Society of New York as a base at a nominal scale of 1:5 000 000. The base map comprises sixteen sheets; for the purpose of the Soil Map of the World the information has been redistributed over eighteen sheets in order to obtain sheets of equal size. A nineteenth sheet contains the legend. The digital database is in the Geographic projection. All maps were intersected with a template containing water related features (coastlines, lakes, islands, glaciers and double-lined rivers). This layer was superimposed on the soil map (the information is represented in the FAOSOIL item as: inland WATer, and GLaciers). The Soil Map of the World except for Africa was intersected with the Country Boundaries map from the World Data Bank II (with country boundaries updated to January 1994 at 1:3 000 000 scale), obtained from the US Government.

SoilGrids 2.0: producing soil information for the globe with quantified spatial uncertainty Laura Poggio, Luis M. de Sousa, Niels H. Batjes, Gerard B. M. Heuvelink, Bas Kempen, Eloi Ribeiro, and David Rossiter ISRIC – World Soil Information, Wageningen, the Netherlands Correspondence: Laura Poggio ([email protected]) Received: 14 October 2020 – Discussion started: 9 November 2020 Revised: 9 April 2021 – Accepted: 18 April 2021 – Published: 14 June 2021 Abstract. SoilGrids produces maps of soil properties for the entire globe at medium spatial resolution (250 m cell size) using state-of-the-art machine learning methods to generate the necessary models. It takes as inputs soil observations from about 240 000 locations worldwide and over 400 global environmental covariates describing vegetation, terrain morphology, climate, geology and hydrology. The aim of this work was the production of global maps of soil properties, with cross-validation, hyper-parameter selection and quantification of spatially explicit uncertainty, as implemented in the SoilGrids version 2.0 product incorporating state-of-the-art practices and adapting them for global digital soil mapping with legacy data. The paper presents the evaluation of the global predictions produced for soil organic carbon content, total nitrogen, coarse fragments, pH (water), cation exchange capacity, bulk density and texture fractions at six standard depths (up to 200 cm). The quantitative evaluation showed metrics in line with previous global, continental and large-region studies.
