Abstract

Soils and the soil cover are witnesses to global changes on the planet; moreover, they play an active role in these changes. Investigations into the role of soils in global processes come to forefront of modern soil science; it is necessary to find appropriate criteria and indicators making it possible to diagnose global environmental changes and to assess their contribution to soil formation.
