Problems of forest soil science

The parcellar arrangement of forest biogeocenoses is shown, and differences in the properties of forest and nonforest soils are estimated. The main el ements of the soil pattern in forests are parcella, tessera, and accidental elements such as windthrow, wild boar digging, etc. It is established that soil texture affects the degree of anisotropy within the tessera, while ge neral regularities in the structural-functional organization of forest biog eocenoses do not depend on texture. The given data allow us to assume that many loose sedimentary rocks passed through the cycle of soil formation.
