Abstract
Ecological conditions and in particular soil forming factors responsible for the development of rendzinas (humus-calcareous) soils are described in this chapter. The contemporary profiles status is shown in relation to different soil forming factors. Scientific information and data provide horizons, soil texture, structure, and properties as well as the national classification, FAO-UNESCO-ISRIC (1990), WRB (2006), and Keys to Soil Taxonomy (2010).
