Abstract

Chernozems are considered to be typical soils of continental steppe environments. Nonetheless, they exist in many areas in Central Europe, where the climate is convenient for the growth of trees and forest vegetation. Otherwise, these areas of Central Europe have been under intensive human influence since the Neolithic period. The natural conditions of the distribution of chernozems in Central Europe cannot be identified without taking into account relevant palaeoenvironmental data. Qualitative near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) was proven to be an innovative method to discover the vegetational origin of soil organic matter (SOM). In our study, we developed a special NIRS reference library for chernozems and soils on loess that is based on two reference groups: soils under grassland and soils under woodland. In order to explore their palaeoenvironmental history in Central Europe, we applied the reference library on a set of 23 sites of European chernozems. We concluded that the majority of the examined chernozems have a grassland past, but some of them had also existed under woodland. The chernozems, which are currently under woodland, have a grassland past. Landscape management is a crucial factor for the pedogenesis of chernozems in Central Europe since the Neolithic. Therefore, it is inappropriate to subscribe the development of these soils just to one scenario or to consider the presence of chernozems as an undoubtable proxy for continuous grassland in the Holocene.
用定性近红外光谱法评估欧洲黑钙土的植被历史
黑钙土被认为是典型的大陆草原环境土壤。尽管如此,它们仍存在于中欧的许多地区,那里的气候适合树木和森林植被的生长。除此之外,自新石器时代以来,中欧的这些地区一直受到人类的强烈影响。如果不考虑相关的古环境数据,就无法确定中欧黑钙土分布的自然条件。近红外定性反射光谱(NIRS)被证明是发现土壤有机质(SOM)植被起源的一种创新方法。在我们的研究中,我们开发了一个专门的黑钙土和黄土上土壤的NIRS参考库,该参考库基于两个参考组:草地下土壤和林地下土壤。为了探索它们在中欧的古环境史,我们将参考图书馆应用于23个欧洲黑钙土遗址。我们得出的结论是,大多数被检查的黑钙土都有草原历史,但其中一些也存在于林地下。黑钙土目前位于林地下,过去有一片草地。景观管理是新石器时代以来中欧黑钙土成土的关键因素。因此,仅仅将这些土壤的发展视为一种情况是不合适的,或者将黑钙土的存在视为全新世连续草地的一个毋庸置疑的代表。

期刊介绍: La revue Quaternaire créée dès 1964 par l"AFEQ sous le nom de Bulletin de l"AFEQ est devenue Quaternaire en 1990. Ce journal scientifique paraît au rythme de quatre numéros par an. La revue publie des numéros d"auteurs (par ordre d"arrivée des manuscrits après acceptation) ou des numéros thématiques sur proposition ou invitation par le comité de rédaction. Les articles (en langue française, anglaise ou allemande) traitant de tous les aspects du Quaternaire sont acceptés. La revue est publiée avec le concours du Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
