Abstract
The composition and magnetic properties of manganese-iron nodules in soddy-podzolic soils at different degrees of hydromorphism were studied. The data of chemical analysis, magnetic measurements, and X-ray diffraction analysis indicate that the nanoparticles of magnetite act as a strongly magnetic phase in these nodules. The distribution of strongly magnetic nodules in soils and the absence of correlation between the content of magnetite and the magnetic parameters of the enclosing soil material indicate that the nodule magnetite is of soil origin.
