| description | The paper deals with of the relations between the forest ecosystem, calcareous rocks and content and composition of soil organic matter in the Golo Bardo area in West Bulgaria. In that area Rendzinas are used mainly for forestry, viticulture and pastures. A specific study based on the accumulation of soil organic matter according to the data on the composition of the soil organic acids. The research on the soil organic matter composition provided information on the course of the humification processes in studied soils. Soil organic matter accumulation in Rendzinas depends on different factors, such as land use and climatic conditions. Soil has rapid transformations of organic residues and strongly decomposed plant tissue predominates. There are often signs of active work of the soil mesofauna. Studied soils have good reserves of organic carbon high degree of humification. The organic carbon content varies in a wide range from 0.8 to 7.2 %. The humic acids prevail over fulvic acids, and the degree of humification is higher in deeper horizons. According to the C/N ratio the humus type is Mull in almost all horizons. Studied soils are biologically active that have favorable impact over the soil structure and vegetation. Rendzinas have high potential of organic carbon sequestration. |
