“…The high variability of the PSD within the studied soil transects was recorded. It confirmed the general observations for soils of young glacial landscapes conducted by other authors (Bieniek 1997, Smolska 2005, Smólczyñski et al 2013, Sowiñski 2014, Sowiñski et al 2015, OEwitoniak 2014. The A horizons in soils located at the summit/midslope and footslope / toeslope had the highest amounts of sand fractions.…”

“…The material accumulated at footslope / toeslope had fine skewed asymmetric (Sk 1 = 0.2) and very leptokurtic (K g = 1.6) particle-size distribution. Values of analyzed indices suggest typical lower mean grain diameter and similar sorting degree of colluvial deposits in comparison with original formations (Smolska 2005, Sowiñski 2014, Sowiñski et al 2015. Values of K g in colluvial, glacial and fluvioglacial deposits have similar dynamics in sedimentological environment.…”

“…This soil was classified as typical humic colluvial soil (in Polish: gleba deluwialna czarnoziemna typowa). Particle-size distribution of these soils is a derivative of the PSD of eroded soils (Bieniek 1997, Smolska 2005, Sowiñski 2014, Sowiñski et al 2015. Colluvial soils (profiles 3, 4, 10), formed as a result of erosion of sandy soils (rusty soils and arenosols), were characterized by fine sand and loamy fine sand texture.…”

“…Interpretation of the PSD and the use of sedimentological and granulometric indices allow to determine the origin of sedimentary environments of soil formations. This is particularly important when natural lithogenic and pedogenic processes overlap with human-induced processes transforming natural environment (Kaba³a and Marzec 2010, Smolska 2005, Sowiñski 2014, OEwitoniak 2014. Therefore, the PSD analysis is commonly used in order to estimate natural and anthropogenic processes of soil erosion and denudation (Zhao et al 2011).…”

“…In these soils various processes overlap, particularly Soil particle-size distribution on slope in transition zones of footslopes and floodplains (Booth et al 2013, Sklar et al 2016. Individual soil fractions are translocated and accumulated as a result of colluvial and alluvial processes (Smólczyñski et al 2013, Sowiñski 2014, Sowiñski et al 2016. It may affect spatial distribution of soils and their properties in young-glacial river valleys.…”

The aim of this paper was to characterize soil particle-size distribution (PSD) of in the middle part of young glacial Łyna River valley in relation to parent materials, soil forming processes and slope position. The study comprised rusty soils, arenosols, clay-illuvial soils, colluvial and alluvial soils located in four slope position: summit / midslope, footslope / toeslope, upper and lower part of floodplain. In order to describe the sedimentological environment and possible heterogenity of the soil formations, sedimentological and granulometric indices were calculated. The relationships between soil fractions in A horizons and environmental variables (slope position and depth of A horizon) were determined using principal component analysis (PCA).The studied soils were poorly sorted with various values of skewness of granulometric distribution (symmetrical, fine and very fine skewed) and kurtosis (mainly very leptokurtic). The value of mean grain diameter was decreasing with slope position which may suggest high dynamics and energy of sedimentological environment in the middle part of Łyna River valley. The analysis of granulometric indices revealed that colluvial deposits were the most homogenous and alluvial formations were the most heterogenous. The results of the statistical analysis showed a positive correlation of the amounts of clay and silt fractions with depth of A horizons. The factor responsible for variability of these fractions was the position on the slope. The A horizons in soils located at the summit and footslope had the highest amounts of sand fractions. While significant increase in the share of finer fractions in soils located in the floodplain was noted.

This study was conducted to identify and evaluate some of the fertility characteristics of soils in stream beds in Şebinkarahisar district of the Giresun province of Türkiye, which has a transitional climate between semi-arid and humid climate zones. To this end, a total of 48 soil samples, surface (0-30 cm) and subsurface (30-60/61/62/65 cm), were collected from 24 different sampling points on various stream beds. The textures of the surface and subsurface soils taken were determined as CL, SL, SCL, L, C, and LS. pH values of surface soils ranged from 5.84 to 7.98, and the pH values of subsurface soils ranged from 6.06 to 8.05. Lime contents of the soils without salinity problem ranged from 0.00% to 38.30% for surface soils, and from 0.00% to 37.90% for subsurface soils. Organic matter contents varied between 0.32% and 4.16% for surface soils, and between 0.14% and 2.16% for subsurface soils. While the soils were poor in total nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc and manganese, it was determined that the calcium and copper contents were at sufficient levels. Although deficiencies were detected in some soils for potassium, magnesium and iron, they were generally determined to be at sufficient levels. To deal with deficiencies of macro and micro plant nutrients, including deficiency of organic matter, a fertilization planning is recommended that includes barnyard manure, poultry manure, green manure, compost, vermicompost, and various organic fertilizers containing macro and micro elements. Within the scope of the research, climate classifications were also made according to Thornthwaite, De Martonne-Gottman and Erinç methods by had used 48 years (1965-2012) climate data of Şebinkarahisar district. Plant species and varieties to be grown in the study area should be selected from among those suitable to the transitional climate conditions prevailing in the region. It will also be useful to analyze the stream waters in the areas where soil sampling is done.
