Abstract
Buried soils contain information which may be used to forecast soil ch anges related to global climate warming. Average global warming by 0.8 -1 degrees C corresponds to the Holocene thermic optimum (5500-6000 ye ars ago) and warning by 1.8-2.0 degrees C corresponds to the last Miku lino interglacial optimum (125 000 years ago). The reconstructions are regarded only as an element of the forecast. Drafts of scenarios are suggested for Eastern Europe in case of global warning, taking into ac count equilibrium and non-equilibrium pedogenic models.
