Definition
- The Central part of the Russian Plain is a key region because of the complex interrelation of the Pleistocene glacials and interglacials. Fossil soils are not continuous in this region due to cryoturbation, erosion and other later processes. Morphological, chemical and micromorphological features of the Upper (Eemian) and Middle (Treenian) Pleistocene paleosols were investigated in the sections of loess and loess-like sediments on the plateau on the right bank of the River Oka. The Eemian soils studied have a humic (A1) horizon with typical biogenic multiordered microstructure and illuvial (B) horizon. The soil morphology is similar to that of the modern Greyforest soils, which are widespread in this region.
