Abstract
Some paleogeographic and geoecological aspects of the radiocarbon meth od of investigating the humus of paleosols are examined. Examples are the study of the transformation of organic matter of soils in time; pa leogeographic reconstructions and climate forecasts; radiocarbon chron ology, refinement of geochronological scales, and correlation of natur al boundaries of the Pleistocene and Holocene; and chronometry and att empts to predict ecological catastrophes.
