ИСТИНА

In the middle and northern taiga zones of Western Siberia, the elevated positions are occupied by Podzols if the parent material is sandy and by poorly differentiated soils in the case of loamy sediments. The latter group of soils is insufficiently studied. Their morphology does not correspond to the central concept of taiga pedogenesis. Thus, we aimed at the diagnostics of the pedogenetic processes responsible for the formation of these soils in Western Siberia.
