Illichiv horizon is represented by yellowish-light-gray sands with a large number of fragments of stony material. The Shyrokyno horizon is represented by dark brown sandy-clay leached soil-pedosidiment (sh3), a layer of crumbly sand (sh2) and orange-rusty-brown in color, brown forest (southern facies) soil-pedosidiment (sh3). The modern Holocene horizon is represented by brown forest leached soil. \u0000The obtained paleopedological (morpho- and micromorphological) data allowed to reproduce the natural conditions during certain paleogeographic stages of the Pleistocene and to reconstruct the living conditions of ancient man in the Lower Paleolithic. In particular, Shyrokyno soils with artifacts, formed in temperate climate. Their ancient age is confirmed by the high position on the modern watershed, the presence of a strong weathering crust grants and a primitive culture of processing the artifacts found. The upper Shyrokyno soil (sh3) reflects the conditions of the warm-temperate, warmer temperate-humid climate of the zone shifted to the north compared to the modern temperate. The lower (sh1) was formed in a warm-temperate, warmer than modern climate with a sufficiently precipitation regime, when the zones were shifted further north, compared to sh3 soil.\u0000Key words: paleopedology; Pleistocene; soils; morphology; micromorphology.","PeriodicalId":374629,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF GEOMORPHOLOGY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF THE UKRANIAN CARPATHIANS AND ADJACENT AREAS","volume":"260 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115811809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The uniqueness of geotourist routes of Prigorgan Precarpathians is due to the complex geological-geomorphological structure of the study area, which in turn led to the diversity of flora and fauna, the presence of attractive natural monuments (waterfalls, rocks, outcrop of rocks), which makes the area promising for various tourist activities. The article analyzes ways to promote this relatively new for the tourism industry of Ukraine type of tourism in order to form a powerful geotourism platform as one of the leading sectors of the domestic tourism industry.

This is manifested in the formation of complex soil layered constructions (pedocomplexes) reflecting the chronological stages of pedogenesis. Agrochernozems of watershed plateu in the central part of Podillia, formed on the loess rocks of the Late Pleistocene age, also show this general regularity of Pliocene-Pleistocene soil formation. Contrasting changes in the physic-geographical conditions of pedolitogenesis in the ancient Holocene (late glacial) and evolutionary trend of soil formation during the following Holocene periods lasting for 10–8 thousand years led to the formation of a two-stage Holocene soil layering on the plakor lands of the region, represented by chernozem-type soils. Morphological signs of staged soil formation are concentrated in one genetic profile, which, along with the sign of anthropization of landscapes and soil formation significantly complicates the detailed identification of soils and their historical and genetic analysis. \u0000The early stage of the local soil formation history is recorded in these soils in the form of solid-phase products of soil-forming processes (puppets, soil wormholes, coprolites, moles drains). These relict pedogenic formations are located in the lower part of the soil profile of agrochernozems. In general, in the soil profile of agrochernozems on the watershed plateu in the central part of Podillia the morphologically hidden stages of soil formation are noticeable, which is typical of the first half of the Holocene thermochron. The soil of the initial stage of pedogenesis correlates with the horizon of the mole loess P(h)k and the lower part of the transitional brown-colour horizon Phk or PhI. The humus profile of the plakor agrochernozems has soil characteristics of the early optimal stage, which lasted for 7–8 thousand years from the preboreal to the late subatlantic. There are no pedogenic signs of other stages of development of the pedocomplex. So, modern day soils of this region (agrochernozems) are polygenetic two-stage formations that have not reached the status of full-fledged pedocomplex. \u0000Key words: evolution; pedogenesis; agrochernozem; Holocene; stages of soil formation; pedocomplex; Podillіa.","PeriodicalId":374629,"journal":{"name":"PROBLEMS OF GEOMORPHOLOGY AND PALEOGEOGRAPHY OF THE UKRANIAN CARPATHIANS AND ADJACENT AREAS","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123779835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
