TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS) techniques, and selective extraction methods were applied in the examination of soil mineralogy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the genesis of bleached tongues in fragipan horizon using the example of Albeluvisols from the Carpathian Foothills in Poland.

TL;DR: European and US scientists studied pollution deposition, soil and plant chemistry, O(3)-sensitive plant species, forest insects, and genetic changes in the Retezat and Tatra Mountains to allow for a better understanding of the changes and the recommendations for effective management in these two areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, three clay subfractions separated from the eluvial horizon of one podzol from the Tatra Mts., Poland, were studied using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and elemental CHNS analysis, in the natural state and after being subjected to organic matter removal, free iron oxides removal, saturation with different cations, and heating at 330°C and 550°C.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present distribution and properties of soils within the Fuglebekken catchment in neighbourhood of the Polish Polar Station in Hornsund, SW Spitsbergen (Svalbard Archipelago).
