Rędziny rezerwatu „Węże” w Załęczańskim Parku Krajobrazowym
Rendzina soils of the ”Węże” nature reserve in Załęcze Landscape Park

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the characteristics and genesis of lithological forms of the Wartyn arch of the Warta River as well as the results of pedological studies on the Zelce hill. The aim of this study was to study the diversity of rendzina soils in the "Węże" geological reserve in Załęcze Landscape Park. Physical and chemical properties of soils were examined. In the "Węże" nature reserve, on the 0.2 km2 surface studied, texture varies from sandy to clayey. Most of the studied soils have been classified as brown rendzina soils. Surface levels are mainly aeolian sands, whereas in deeper layers sandy loam clay with a very thick backbone lies in. Undoubtedly, it is the result of weathering Jurassic limestone located in the deeper parts of the soil profile, but it also has a glacial origin. Uniform shallow rendzina soils were also examined, which occur only on exposed limestone rocks without admixtures of younger periglacial sediments.
