Postagrogenic development of Retisols in the middle taiga subzone of European Russia (Komi Republic)
Abstract Reforestation on abandoned agricultural lands is widespread in the belt of boreal forests. We analyzed the morphological and physicochemical properties of a Plaggic Glossic Retisol (Siltic, Cutanic) site that had been abandoned either 7, 19, or 85 years ago, as well as a Glossic Stagnic Ret...
