Results of the major soil properties are given in Table 1. Due to limited
age, on the Spolic Technosol of site 4, an A horizon up to present
could not develop. Technosols exhibiting shallow A horizons (Ahi of
soils P1 and P3; Ap of P2) represent onlyweak soil development. In contrast,
the shallowAhi horizons of P11, P13 and P14 reflect the strong influence
of erosion on soil formation. The Fluvisols of the study areawere
commonly deeply developed (P6 to P10) and somewere covered by either
fresh colluvial (MAp of P7 and P8) or alluvial (MAh of P9 and P10)
material.
