Przestrzenna zmienność właściwości gleb w układach katenalnych w rejonie Murzynowa

The article presents the results of soil study carried out within three catenas near Murzynowo. The catenas are a fragment of glacial upland slope built of sand and clay loam. Physical and chemical properties of soils located in different parts of the slope were analyzed. The results indicate that there is a clear variability of soil physical properties depending on their position within the slope. Essential for the soil structure and soil forming processes differentiation are the processes of erosion, that damage soil's surface layer and cause clay fraction's and humic substances' movement.
