Vn. Sheptukhov et Bp. Gradusov, ON THE TECHNOLOGY OF LOOSENING THE ILLUVIAL HORIZONS OF SODDY-PODZOLIC LOAMY SOILS, Eurasian soil science, 31(3), 1998, pp. 247-253
Quantitative and qualitative changes in the composition of iron oxides
that occur during the development of porosity in the illuvial horizon
s of soddy-podzolic loamy soils are considered. A hypothesis of porosi
ty development under deep loosening is proposed; the main stages of th
e process and the conditions required to preserve the porous structure
are revealed.
