“Genuine podzolic soils” in the Republic of Komi and their position in the recent soil classification systems

“GENUINE PODZOLIC SOILS” IN THE REPUBLIC OF KOMI AND THEIR POSITION IN THE RECENT SOIL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEMS

Under consideration are typical profiles of podzolic loamy soils described in many publications on the soils of Komi Republic with respect to their diagnostics in national and international classification systems. It is argued that the podzolic soils should be preferably recognized at the type level with numerous subtypes to reflect the variations in the profile drainage conditions. In terms of the international soil classifications (FAO/WRB) the podzolic soils may be correlated with the former Podzoluvisols and recent Retisols better than with the Albeluvisols of the intermediate versions.


Keywords: typical podzolic soils, genetic properties and subtypes, Reference Soil Groups of the international classification
