INVESTIGATION OF SOME SOILS DEVELOPED IN HUMMOCKS OF THE CANADIAN SUB-ARCTIC AND SOUTHERN-ARCTIC REGIONS. 2. ANALYTICAL CHARACTERISTICS, GENESIS AND CLASSIFICATION
Soils formed in mineral hummocks of the Forest–Tundra region have analytical characteristics reflecting "podzolic" processes. These soils have upper sola that are moderately to strongly acidic, with low pH values and base saturation; have high contents of organically complexed iron and alu...
