DIVNOGORSK PEDOLITHCOMPLEX AS A REFLECTION OF EXTREME CONDITIONS OF SOIL FORMATION IN THE FINAL PLEISTOCENE
https://doi.org/10.7868/S0373244417050085
Abstract
In driftless area of the East European Plain in the basin of the Middle Don River, the soil-sedimentary series, which includes 2–3 levels of soil formation related to the final stage of the Pleistocene (the lower Dryas – belling – average drias 2 – allered – upper Dryas) are studied. Complex of underdeveloped soil, enclosing and separating sediments is called Divnogorsk pedolithcomplex. A complex internal structure of late-glacial warming of belling and allered is revealed by paleosoil, paleobotanical and lithogenic data. The lower most developed paleosol (Rendzic Chernozem) is related to belling warming, the medium (Rendzic Leptosol) and upper (Cambisol) paleosols – to allered warming. The paleosols were developed during periods of climate warming at the late-glacial period in periglacial forest-steppe conditions. The lower soil (belling) was formed in conditions of increased moisture and extensive development of lowland spruce-pine forests, the average (first half of allered) – in more arid conditions, the upper (second half of allered) – in warmer and wetter conditions with increased participation of nemoral vegetation. None of the soils does not correspond to the rank of interstadial paleosols – each of them was formed during the first hundreds years.
