Argillic Horizons in Modern Loess Soils in an Ustic Soil Moisture Regime: Comparative Studies in Forest-Steppe and Steppe Areas from Eastern Europe and the United States

Advances in Soil Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Soil Science ((SOIL,volume 15))

Abstract

The study of the general or at least regular relationships between the distribution of soils (or, more exactly, the different categories distinguished by soil classification systems) and the soil-forming factors of climate, vegetation and fauna, parent material, relief (with additional surface runoff), man, and time (Jenny, 1941, 1980) is the subject of “general soil geography.” “Regional soil geography” is based on this. We understand regional soil geography to mean the investigation of the causal relationships between the soil-forming factors and the regular spatial distribution pattern of soils. The expression “structure of the soil cover” is commonly used for this regular spatial distribution pattern (Fridland, 1967, 1974; Haase and Schmidt, 1970). Thus, in their subject matter these two fields far exceed a mere description of the spatial distribution of the different soils on the earth.
