This re search is fo cused on a small ket tle hole lo cated within the Mor¹g mo raines (I³awa Lake Dis trict, NE Po land). The study ob jec tive was to de ter mine the im pact of palaeoenvironmental changes on prop er ties of sed i ments fill ing the bot tom of the ket tle hole. Sedimentological, geo chem i cal, and palaeobotanical stud ies en abled us to dis tin guish sev eral de vel op ment phases of the ket tle hole, and clus ter anal y sis per formed on physicochemical data yielded seven lo cal geo chem i cal zones (Ju I/I to Ju I/VII ). The be gin ning of biogenic sed i men ta tion in the con di tions of a small wa ter body, func tion ing in the Late Gla cial pe riod (4.20-4.10 m), was de ter mined on the ba sis of palaeobotanical re search. Sed i ments de pos ited in the lake dur ing its fur ther evo lu tion were rich in microelements such as Ca, Na, Mg, and K, and to a smaller ex tent -Fe and Mn (Ju I/I-III lo cal geo chem i cal zones). The Late Gla cial lac us trine pe riod ended with the ac cu mu la tion of very silty, pol len-free gyttja, with a strati graphic hi a tus (Ju I/IV , 3.40-3.20 m). The sed i ments were en riched with SiO 2ter , which in di cates an in creased rate of slope ero sion, and con cre tions of Fe-Mn oc cur ring be low this layer (Ju III ) pro vide ev i dence for low er ing of the wa ter level and even des ic ca tion. In the Ho lo cene, the lac us trine pe riod ended with the ac cu mu la tion of coarse de tri tal gyttja (3.20-2.60 m). Palaeobotanical data in di cate that the next group of sed i ments were de pos ited in the Late Subboreal and Subatlantic pe ri ods (2.60-0.0 cm, Ju I/V-VII ; sedge peat). Their prop er ties were var ied and re lated to hydrologic con di tions, lim ited de nu da tion, and veg e ta tion suc ces sion. There was also a sig nif i cant change in the trophic con di tions of the wa ter and con se quently in the sed i ments of the ket tle hole, which changed dur ing the lac us trine pe riod from ba sic to acid, and strongly acid in the surface layer. This re ac tion may be re lated to a change in the wa ter re gime as well as to hu man im pact in the en vi ron ment, which led to the col o ni za tion of the peat bog by Sphag num moss.Key words: young gla cial land scape, ket tle hole, end mo raines, geo chem i cal anal y sis, biogenic de pos its.

“…The higher content of TOC was observed in profiles located at the lower slope positions. This was probably connected with the high level of groundwater affecting the decrease in the rate of organic matter decomposition (PSC 1989, Jonczak and Kuczyñska 2008, OEwitoniak 2015. There was probably no ploughing process on the former surface horizons into the colluvium cover observed e.g.…”

“…As it was classified as the Colluvic Regosol (Loamic) according to IUSS WRB (2015), there was no unit to fit the criteria in PSC (2011). If the surface horizon meets the criteria for mollic epipedon, the soil could be classified as humic colluvial, otherwise the best name seemed to be the proposal given by OEwitoniak (2015), which is proper colluvial soil.

“…Erosion processes were triggered by tillage in the areas characterized by strongly undulated relief. This situation causes the development of colluvial soils, mainly in the aggradation zone at the foot of slopes (Sowiñski et al 2004, Smólczyñski and Orzechowski 2010, Smólczyñski et al 2011, Wysocka-Czubaszek 2012, OEwitoniak 2014, 2015, Markiewicz et al 2015, Mendyk et al 2016.…”

Abstract:The aims of the study were to characterize shoreline soil development and evolution and to determine land use changes (19 th to 20 th centuries) in the direct catchment of the completely vanished Gardeja lake. The study was based on pedological research and analysis of cartographic materials. The main factor determining the current development of shoreline zone soil cover at the former Gardeja lake was human activity (lake dewatering, further drainage and human-induced erosion). Studied soil profiles were developed from mineral, non-lacustrine materials (upper parts of the slopes) and lacustrine sediments covered with colluvium. The analyzed soil catenas are representative for the undulated young glacial landscape of Northern Poland. The biggest changes of the land use were observed for the class of grasslands that is combined with shrubs (increase of cover area).

Soil erosion led to the severe transformations of the soil cover of young morainic areas of northern Poland. Main alterations are connected with soil truncation on summits and in upper part of slopes, whereas at foot slopes and within depressions colluvial material is accumulated. Information and knowledge about the extent or intensity of erosion are mainly derived from sophisticated geospatial models or laborious field works. To reduce the effort associated with development of studies on erosion the use of easily available cartographic sources is required. The main aim of the paper is an elaboration of key to reinterpret information taken from soil-agricultural maps in the context of determining the degree of pedons truncation. The study is based on a comparison of the properties of soils representing various classes of erosional alterations with the data on existing maps. The correlation between descriptions recorded in the form of cartographic symbols with properties of pedons divided into several classes of vertical texturecontrast soil truncation and results from potential erosion maps was elaborated. The application of developed interpretative principles allows calculating the share of soil truncation classes within investigated area. The five test plots (each -1 km 2 ) were located along the north slopes of Noteae Middle Valley and Toruñ Basin. The proposed interpretation of soil-agricultural maps reveals their significant value in studies on extent and degree of erosional alterations recorded in soil cover.
