Description :
Soil profiles developed on moraines of the penultimate glaciation on the Russian Plain have formed from redistributed material, mainly sand, derived from upslope. This material consists of layers, some of which also contain, or may even be dominated by, loess. From field measurements, grain size data and heavy mineral analyses, the AA. show how the different soil parent materials can be distinguished and whether typical parent material sequences occur in the Moshaysk region.
