Abstract
Ecological conditions, and in particular, soil forming factors responsible for pseudopodzolic forest soil development are described in this chapter. The genetic approach toward the dynamic of evolution of the type of pseudopodzolic forest soils is based on the conception of genetic horizons and explanation of soil properties. In relation with different soil forming factors like topography, parent materials, climate, vegetation, time, and human influence, the contemporary profiles status of the pseudopodzolic forest soil type is presented and the best use of the land is indicated. Morphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical soil characteristics are results of the soil development stages and depend on the intensity and duration of weathering and soil forming processes. Products of these processes are the free (non-silicate) forms of elements released through the destruction of the primary mineral lattices. Their content along the depth of the soil profile illustrates the extent of the processes that have occurred during the soil development. Sound scientific information and data from the large soil surveys carried out over the country’s territory indicates the sequence of genetic horizons, soil texture, structure, main physical and chemical properties, and national classification, Revised Legend FAO-UNESCO-ISRIC (1990), WRB (2006) and Keys to Soil Taxonomy (2010).
