Abstract
Hydromorphism can develop in soils with standing surface water or groundwater. It brings about a differentiation of the soil profile by eluvial-illuvial translocation, formation of concretions by segregation of iron and manganese compounds by redox reactions and, also, accumulation of peat. These processes, here illustrated by experiment, affect soil fertility differently under different soil water regimes according to the intensity of gley-eluvial and redox processes. Surface-water hydromorphism decreases total and mobile phosphates; iron and aluminium phosphates are firmly fixed in the solid phase of the soil. Groundwater hydromorphism promotes accumulation of soil organic matter, organic nitrogen and phosphates and, ultimately, peat formation.
