The studies were conducted on the former arable land, intensively used, designated
for extending the collection of Dendrological Garden in Przelewice. This area is characterised
by a low wavy relief with gentle slopes of ca 3%, on average. Study results showed great
variations, especially vertical, in granulometric composition and a considerable diversity of soil
types, which had been greatly affected by water erosion. The investigated area was found to be
dominated by leached black earth, grey-brown podsolic soil and deluvial soils. Considerably
smaller areas were covered with rusty soils, grey-brown soils and arenosols. Irrespective of the
soil type classification, these soils are characterised by a substantial humus horizon, mostly
sandy clay or loamy sand containing from 4 to 6% clay fraction (<0.002 mm). Reaction is
predominantly slightly acid to alkaline, humus content from 10.0 to 30.0 (mean 17.3) g · kg–1,
bulk density from 1.22 to 1.59 (mean 1.47) Mg · m–3 and total porosity from 38.8 to 52.2 (mean
43.1) %. Among the determined types of soils, the most beneficial morphological characteristics
and properties were detected in leached black earths.
