Abstract

Cooperative relationships between pedology and biology, paleogeography, cryolithology, Quaternary geology, and archaeology are discussed using the example of the study of the Holocene history of automorphic loamy soils in the center of the East European Plain. It is demonstrated that this cooperation is particularly fruitful upon studying the initial stages of soil formation.
