In the article is analyzed the soils’ properties in near-highway road strips of M-10 Lviv- Krakovets with width up to 150 m. Within the near-road strips of the highway, have been established 12 experimental polygons under forest, meadow vegetation and agricultural lands. On each polygons from soils profile samples are selected the most common soils: sod-podzolic, formed on fl uvio-glacial and gray-forest soils formed onloess loam. Completed description of soil profiles to depth of 0-100 cm. Part of experimental soils are formed under hornbeam-beech forests (11, 12 polygons) and oak-hornbeam-pine (4, 6, 7, 8 polygons). The researches revealed that in soil profiles at different depths are lie buried in eolian forms of relief (dunes) with different steepness of slopes. The steepness of the walls of the superficial layers of the dunes varies from 10 to 30°. In the research profiles of near-highway soils on the surface of the dunes, fi nd presence of progumed fragments of strips up wide to 2–3 cm. On the territory of the Nadsyanska moraine-zandrova alluvial plain at a distance of 50 m from the roadway (polygon 2, in the valley of the river Shklo, where the grassland vegetation is predominant, the turfy shallow gluten sandy soils are formed on alluvial deposits) discovered two low-power buried humus horizons who inherited a deflationary relief. Their steepness on the surface of the dunes is about 10 °. In polygon 3, the incision is laid in the micro threshold of the ancient relief, where the vegetation is represented by a spruce forest with oak impurities. In the profile of sod-hidden-podzolic sandy soil, on the surface of buried dunes which have steep walls 10-20°, are observed a humus layers . In the polygon 12, which is laid in the southwestern spurs of Roztochya 1,5 km north of the village of Birky in the hornbeam forest, steepness of the walls superficial layers of dunes of western exposition ranges from 10 to 12°. Soil is a clear-gray forest-loamy on loess loamy. In the soil profi les have been identified the following chemical elements: Pb, Zn, Co, Cu, Ni, Mo, Cr, Mn, V, Ba, Sr, Zr, Fe, Ti, Sn. The researches have established that in the territory of the Nadsyanska moraine-zandrovu alluvial plain, and in the southwestern spurs of Roztochchya, widespread buried dune relief. Based on our research, we propose to consider the issue of the allocation of types (subtypes) in soil legends, to investigate the defilations and inter deflation periods of their formation. Key worlds: near-roads strips, soil profile, deflation forms, buried soils, fragments of humus layers.

The article presents the results of the field study of the two artificial outcrops of the Pleistocene deposits, which are located in the suburbs Solonske near Drohobych city. Outcrops (careers) are located within the terrace of the Tysmenytsia River. The height of the terrace is about 50 m above the river level and changes along the distance from the mountains. The main attention in the article is paid to the study of the structure of the upper (covering) stratum of the terrace with a thickness of about 26 m, and also to the characteristics of its consolidated stratigraphic section. The basis of this stratum consists of the layers of non-carbonate loams and clays. They are more or less enriched of iron compounds and gleyed. Between them there are four horizons of buried soils of the interglacial and interstadial rank. Based on the observations made in the field, it was found that the sediments of the covering stratum have mainly river origin. The conditions of their accumulation, as well as the conditions for the formation and transformation of ancient soils, are considered; eight pre-Holocene lito- and pedostratigraphic layers of different rank are singled out. The division of the covering stratum of the terraces into three main layers is sub¬stan¬tiated, which is equivalent to the stratigraphic units of the glacial and interglacial rank. Comparison of the Solonske section with other sections of the similar height terraces, in particular with well-known outcrops near the village Dubrivka (section Dubrivka) gives grounds to assume that the formation of a local terrace occurred during the Marine Isotopic Stages 12 to 10. Consequently, the Solonske section represents a short strati¬gra¬phic interval of the Middle Pleistocene (not the three main Pleistocene units as stated in the results of its previous study). It can be the basis for studying only a few (two to three) horizons of the glacial/interglacial rank. At the same time, it is potentially a very impor¬tant key section of the Solonske (Dubrivska, Dovhivska, Varnytska) terrace of the Pre-Dniester. The studying of Solonske outcrops makes it necessary to revise the popular notions about the origin and the age of the so-called covering stratum of the river terraces of the Carpathian Foreland and Podolian Pre-Dniester, its stratigraphic filling and significance. Key words: alluvial deposits; terraces; soil-loess sequence; Middle Pleistocene; Dniester valley; Carpathian Foreland; Solonske section.

At environs of the village Dovhe in Ivano-Frankivs’k region (oblast) the fourth, fifth and sixth terraces of the Dnister River are well developed. They occur in the close vicinity to each other and are fully exposed. The authors published sections of the V and VI terraces earlier. In the present paper the description of the IV terrace is given. All the high terraces of the Dnister River from environs of Dovhe show the geological substrate below the alluvial cover. The section over the substrate parts is composed of the gravelly-to-pebbly channel alluvial deposits, sand and clay deposits of the alluvial plain, and covering subaerial loess and paleosoil deposits of the various thicknesses. In the fourth terrace, the complete section of the first and the second phases of the Korshiv paleosoil are exposed, with the entire thickness equal 3.6 m. Therefore, the ancient Korshiv paleosoil complex in the Dovhe section can be the stratotype section for the Forecarpathians. Key words: terrace, alluvium, subaerial cover, loess-soil series, buried soils, soil complexes, paleolit.

We studied the soil of different ages of chronological catenas at stationary Precarpathian and PrutDniester interfluvial. The obtained results of the morphometric features of the background and buried soils extend the capabilities for the interpretation of their evolution. Thus more soundly use of absolute values of morphometric parameters of genetic soil horizons. We showed, that the thickness of humus horizons and first of all the background soil profile generally, during the time after burial of soil increased. This is due to an increase in humidity of the climate in the last 1000 years. Key words: soil: background and buried, genetic horizon, thickness, the ratio between the horizons.

AbstractAnthropogenic disturbance, such as agricultural and architectural activities, can greatly influence belowground soil microbes, and thus soil formation and nutrient cycling. The objective of this study was to investigate microbial community variation in deep soils affected by strong disturbances. In present study, twelve soil samples were collected from different depths (0–300 cm) and placed onto the surface. We investigated the structure variation of the microbial community down through the soil profiles in response to disturbance originated by legume plants (robinia and clover) cultivation vs. plant-free controls. The high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA genes showed that microbial α-diversity decreased with depth, and that growing both plants significantly impacted the diversity in the topsoil. The soil profile was clustered into three layers: I (0–40 cm), II (40–120 cm), and III (120–300 cm); with significantly different taxa found among them. Soil properties explained a large amount of the variation (23.5%) in the microbial community, and distinct factors affected microbial assembly in the different layers, e.g., available potassium in layer I, pH and total nitrogen in layer II, pH and organic matter in layer III. The prediction of metabolic functions and oxygen requirements indicated that the number of aerobic bacteria increased with more air exposure, which may further accelerate the transformation of nitrogen, sulfur, carbon, and pesticides in the soil. The diversity of soil microorganisms followed a depth-decay pattern, but became higher following legume growth and air exposure, with notable abundance variation of several important bacterial species, mainly belonging to Nitrospira, Verrucomicrobia, and Planctomycetes, and soil properties occurring across the soil profiles.

<p>Large scale slope instabilities are complex objects controlled by multiple parameters. The underground and superficial structure of the slope plays a major role as it often controls water circulations, potentially causing weathering and damaging processes, and permits the local storage of water masses, causing temporary overload. In addition, the structure of the subsurface often delineates rock-volumes with variable mechanical properties, whose spatial distribution greatly influences the behavior of the slope. This work illustrates how Dense 3D Electrical Resistivity Tomography can provide relevant constraints on these parameters.</p><p>The village of Viella, in France (Hautes-Pyrénées), is affected by strong slope movement since 2018, when a massive rockslide above the village modified the stress conditions of the entire slope and, potentially, the hydrogeological context. As a consequence, some houses and infrastructures are progressively damaged, leading to heavy measures (houses evacuation). This complex, deep-seated (> 80 m), slope instability covers an area of ca. 650 000 m², is primarily composed of altered shists, colluviums, and non-consolidated alluvial deposits, forming several kinematic units with surface velocities in the range [0.5 – 5] mm.month<sup>-1</sup>.</p><p> </p><p>A 3D dense electrical resistivity tomography was realized using the FullWaver system, to characterize the structure and the forcing factors of this unstable slope. 55 V-FullWavers receivers (3 -electrodes, 2 channels sensors) were quasi-evenly distributed over a surface area of 400 x 500 m² with an interval of 90 m, apart from the village area, where no electrode could be grounded. Each V-FullWaver recorded signals through two orthogonal dipoles of 25 m length. Current injections were realized with a high-power transmitter (6 kW, 16 A, 3000 V). 235 injection dipoles were used. The system injected current between a fixed remote electrode (more than 1 km away from the site to increase the investigation depth) and a local mobile electrode, moved all over the investigated area in between the V-Fullwaver receivers, with an interval of approximately 40 m, except in the village area.</p><p> </p><p>The resulting 3D resistivity model presents a high spatial variability until 100 to 150 m depth approximately, that highly relates to the complex strain dynamics of the slope and the hydrogeological observations.

Microbiological studies of samples from the separate horizons and from different depths of soils of the Appalachian upland podsol group show that the activity of the micro-organisms is dependent upon the organic-matter relations in the horizons. The organic-matter horizon is biologically the most active, as shown by analyses for carbon dioxide, nitrate nitrogen, numbers of bacteria, and production of ammonia from urea. Evidence is submitted that the reduced activity of the leached layer and the horizons of accumulation is not due to toxic compounds produced by leaching of the organic matter.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the variations of twelve chemical elements (Ni, Fe, Co, Mg, Mn, Al, Si, Zn, Ti, P, Ca and Cr) in laterite soil profiles from Wantulasi area in South East Sulawesi Province of Indonesia. Eighty four (84) samples of three profiles (i.e. each profile consists of eight samples) had been used to study their variations in soil using  the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF). Results analysis of the chemical elements content in three profile using XRF indicated that there were good correlationsbetween the chemical elements in the soil profile with the significant correlations were found in Ni and Fe, Ni and Si, Ti and P, Fe and Al, and Co and Mn, respectively. On the other hand,the results of study showed that the variations of the chemical elements could be related to the enrichment and translocation of the elements  in soil profile and also their possibilities to be related with a given chemical elements in soil profile. Therefore, we suggest that the observed patterns in chemical elements with a good correlation in laterite profile can be used as proxies to integrate the evaluation of the chemical and physical weathering process based on the elements characteristics in soil profiles.

The present investigation was carried out in Barela village of Seoni district, Madhya Pradesh to characterize, classify and evaluate the land resources using IRS-LISS-IV and GIS. Five major landforms viz. plateau; escarpments, mound, pediment and alluvial plain were identified and delineated. Based on image characteristics, seven land uses/ land cover classes’ viz., single crop, double crop, degraded forest, wasteland, river, waterbody and habitation were identified. Five slope classes viz., very gently sloping (1-3%), gently sloping (3-5%), moderately sloping (5-10%), strongly sloping (10-15%) and steeply sloping ( 15-25%) lands have been identified using Cartosat-1 DEM (30 m resolution) and topographic information. Five soil series (Barela-1, Barela-2, Barela-3, Barela-4 and Barela-5) were tentatively identified and mapped based on landform-soil relationship. Soils, in general, are shallow moderately deep, moderately well to well drained with moderate to severe erosion and clayey in texture. The soils are neutral to slightly alkaline in reaction and non-saline and qualify for Lithic Ustorthents/ Typic Haplustepts/ Typic Haplusterts at subgroup level. The soils were grouped under land capability sub-classes IIs, IIIes, IVst and VIst and land irrigability sub-classes 2s, 3st and 4st. The soils of Barela-4 (subgroup) are moderately suitable for growing gram, soybean, maize and pigeonpea. The soils of Barela-5 (subgroup) are highly suitable for growing pigeonpea and moderately suitable for growing gram, soybean and maize. Soils of Barela-1, Barela-2 and Barela-3 are not suitable for growing gram, soybean, maize and pigeonpea. Various soil and water conservation measures and alternate land use options have been suggested based on land resources information generated for management of land resources in the village.

The main lithological characteristics of the channel facies of the Susidovychi terrace, which correspond to the high (situated over the canyon) groups of Dnister terraces, were given. The investigations in the gravel pit at Kulakivtsi proved that the alluvium of the terrace has been formed in two stages. During the first stage, the lower 1.5 thick bed of the alluvium was deposited. The upper one, nearly 4 m thick alluvium bed was formed in the next, second one depositional stage. The stages of the alluvium formation were recorded in the changes of the granulometric and petrographical composition of the alluvium, and of the roundness of the coarse-grained clasts. The transition between these two alluvial beds is outlined by the voluminous intercalations of the sand lenses, and also by a change in the colour of the alluvial deposits. Granulometric composition of the alluvium of the channel facies, in general, changes little in the section. Only in the transition zone from the lower to the upper part of the alluvial deposits, there is a sharp, abrupt increase in the content of gravels and a sharp reduction in the content of boulders. Generally, in the composition of the alluvium two dominant and two subordinate components are clearly identified. The pebble grains and the sandy-clay matrix are the dominant components, whereas the gravel grains and the boulders are less common. Petrographic composition of the coarse-grained fraction of the terrace alluvium proved to be the richest of all the so far investigated sections of the high (situated over the canyon) terraces of the Dnister River (at Kunysivtsi, Ivane-Puste, Repuzhyntsi, and Lysychnyky). The pebbles 40–100 mm in diameter show particularly diverse petrographic composition which includes fragments of nine types of rocks: the four of the Carpathian provenance (sandstone, aleurite, cherts, and quartzite), and the five of the Podillian provenance (red-coloured Devonian sandstone, Albian cherts and sandstone, and lithothamnian and cryptocrystalline chemogenic limestone). More precisely, the richest is the lower part of the alluvial deposits where the fragments of all the nine rock types occur. The upper part of the alluvium is markedly poorer because only the five rock types occur there. Diversity of the petrographic composition of the alluvium decreased by reducing the local Podillian types of rocks, which are represented only by the red-coloured Devonian sandstones. The composition of the Carpathian types of rocks remained unchanged. The detected changes in the granulometric and petrographic composition of the alluvium of the investigated terrace permitted to show that the principal providers of the local (Podillian) debris of rocks was played by the Podillian tributaries of the Dnister River. The Dnister alone transported mainly the Carpathian material and only the small volume of Podillian rocks represented by the debris of the red-coloured Devonian sandstones. It was also found that the accumulation of the alluvial deposits of the Susidovychi terrace in the Kulakivtsi section took place in the conditions of restructuring of the Dnister palaeodrainage system. In the initial stages of this terrace formation, the palaeo-Dnister was directed from the village Dobryvliany further north than today, and it entered into the present-day Tupa River valley at environs of the village Bedrykivtsi. In the vicinity of the village Bedrykivtsi, the palaeo-Dnister was turning sharply eastward and proceeded along the present-day river valleys of Tupa and Seret. In the later stages of the Susidovychi terrace formation, the palaeo-Dnister left the portion of its valley stretching between the villages Bedrykivtsi and Schytivtsi, and it shifted several hundred meters to the south and has stopped practically within its current canyon valley. The desolate portion of its palaeo-valley located between the villages Bedrykivtsy and Kasperivtsi has been inherited by the Tupa River and the lower portion of this palaeo-valley located between the villages Kasperivtsi and Schytivtsi – by the Seret River. Key words: palaeo-Dnister, over the canyon terraces, Susidovychi terrace, alluvium, granulometric composition, petrographical composition, roundness, Carpathian material, Podillian material.
