| Soils in the study area are dominated by Rendzina, Eutric Cambisol, Orthic Luvisols, and Eutric Regosols. |
| Weathering of the chalk has created a characteristic soil known as rendzina. |
| Its geological history belongs to Mesozoic era and the main soil type is Lithosol and Rendzina. |
| Decomposition and transformation of organic matter in rendzina and brown forest soils. |
| The dominant soil types are purple, rendzina and yellow alluvial soil. |
| The soil consisted of a rendzina 28 cm in thickness, overlying a horizon that has been altered by cryoturbation and was situated on a gelifracted chalk layer. |
