Va. Demkin, SPACE-TIME PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOLONETZ PROCESS IN SOILSOF DRY AND DESERT STEPPES, Eurasian soil science, 28(7), 1996, pp. 1-11
A comparative study is conducted for paleosoils of archaeological monu
ments of different age within Dark Chestnut, Chestnut, Light Chestnut,
and Brown Desert-Steppe soil geographical subzones. Indicators of sol
onetzicity in soils of the region appeared asynchronically, mainly in
the third and second millennia B.C. The solonetzic stage is considered
obligatory in the formation of modem Light Chestnut and Brown Soils.
