Redeposition of the Quaternary sediments and paleosols at the eastern slopes of Pavlov Hills
Abstract
During 2010-2012 years, four new geological sections were documented at Pavlov (district Břeclav). Studied sections are composed of macroscopically identified several soil horizons separated by loess, loess derivatives and colluvial sediments. Nevertheless, based on micromorphology, the paleosols have not been formed in situ, but they represent soil sediments - redeposited humic horizons (chernozems) and B horizon of luvisol belonging to Stillfried A (PK III and PK II). The colluvial processes (represented mainly by solifluction) could cause significant problems with geological and archeological interpretations if not recognized, therefore the detail sedimentological and paleopedological evaluation should be applied in such cases.
