Description :
Volcanic ejecta largely contributed to landscape building also very far from volcanic areas, providing substratum for soil genesis. The AA. studied the role of pyroclastics as soil forming factor on the carbonate relieves in the Partenio Mountain. The study area was interested by numerous depositions of pyroclastics mainly from Somma-Vesuvius eruptions. Pyroclastics formed a unique pedological environment, without contribution of carbonate materials. - (NF)
