Stagnogley
When Stagnogley , popularly also whey floor , whey podsol or Miss ground , is one with the Pseudogley related backwater ground with highly bleached topsoil . The nutrient-poor, often highly acidic soil is poor in air and is not suitable for agricultural use due to the low growth rate of the cultivated fruits. As a shallow soil, moderately stony in the subsoil , it is mainly used as a forest site. Because of this shallow depth, such locations are only suitable for tree species that can cope well with these conditions, such as the English oak .
development
The soil, the topsoil of which is bleached by persistent waterlogging , is preferably created on sandy material over dense, sandy-loamy to silty- clay subsoil, also called sandkerf , in cool, humid climates. Often year-round watering at low temperatures, for example, dissolves iron and magnesium and shifts them to the sides in the sandy topsoil. With year-round water saturation, a conversion into moor stagnogley and ultimately into moor is possible.
In the international soil classification World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), the stagnogleye with an abrupt increase in clay content belong to the planosols , those without such an abrupt increase belong to the stagnosols .
distribution
In the perhumid climate, also occurring on steeper slopes, stagnogleye can be found in wet places in the Central European low mountain ranges of the Black Forest , Ore Mountains and Eifel . Due to the heavy metal discharge , there are associations with Oxigleyen .
