One of the main ecosystem components, which undergoes irreversible changes is the soil cover in urban and industrial areas. The extent and type of changes in the soil depend on many factors: duration, intensity and the land use, properties of primary soils or reclamation techniques. Urban or industrial soils are dominated or strongly affected by human-made material and exhibit a high spatial heterogeneity. Their properties and pedogenesis are mainly related to technical origin. These soils are more likely to be contaminated than soils from other groups. Even when the environment of urban or industrial areas is essentially changed, the technically transformed soils can still fulfill the same ecological functions as natural soils. Advancing our knowledge about these soils is essential for spatial planning, optimal use of resources and can bring considerable benefits resulting in the improvement of life quality in the cities. This book provides an extensive database on urban and industrial soils from the following countries: Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia. The main objective of this study was to present a great diversity of transformations in the investigated soils. Most of the presented examples meet the criteria of Technosols – one of the Reference Soil Groups in the WRB classification system. The above-mentioned RSG includes only pedons with a very high degree of technogenic disturbances. For this reason, a broader term is proposed − ’technogenic soils‘ − to describe all urban and industrial soils. The collected data will allow greater understanding of processes taking place in human-made ecosystems and will be a useful tool in soil-science teaching.

The city is situated in the Someşul Mic River valley, and is considered to be an unofficial capital of the historical province of Transylvania. The Cluj-Napoca metropolitan area has a population of 411 379 people and 324 576 inhabitants live within the city limits (2011). The boundaries of the municipality contain an area of 179.52 square kilometres. Today, Cluj-Napoca is one of the most important academic, cultural, industrial and business centres in Romania. At the site of the present-day city, there was a pre-Roman settlement called Napoca. After the Roman conquest of the area in 106 AD, the place was known as Municipium Aelium Hadrianum Napoca (Dragos et al. 2007). Cluj-Napoca is located within the Somesul Mic corridor at the Fig. 1. Location of Cluj-Napoca intersection of three major geographical units: the Transylvanian Plain, the Someş Plateau and the Apuseni Mountains, at an average altitude of 360 m and is intersected by the parallel of 46°46' north latitude and the meridian of 23°36' east longitude. It extends over the valleys of Someşul Mic and Nadăş. The southern part of the city covers the upper terrace of the northern slope of Feleac Hill, and is surrounded along three sides by hills or mountains with an altitude between 500 m and 700 m. The Someş plateau is situated to the east, while the northern part of the city includes Dealurile Clujului (‘the Hills of Cluj’), with 11 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas P. CHARZYŃSKI, M. MARKIEWICZ, R. BEDNAREK, M. ŚWITONIAK the following peaks: Lombului (684 m), Dealul Melcului (617 m), Techintău (633 m), Hoia (506 m) and Gârbău (570 m). Other hills are located in the western districts, and the hills of Calvaria and Cetăţuia (Belvedere) are located near the centre of the city. The natural dominant soils in the surroundings of the city are Eutric Cambisols, Haplic Luvisols and most fertile Haplic Phaeozems. In the river valleys, Eutric Gleyic Fluvisols predominate (Soil Atlas of Europe 2005). The research on the urban soil cover was carried out in the city. Information on the lead contamination in Cluj-Napoca soils can be found in the paper by Rusu and Bartok (2002). The soils in the industrial zone Somes-Nord of Cluj-Napoca were described by Micle et al. (2005). The effects of a waste platform on soil pollution near the city of Cluj-Napoca was investigated by Cacovean et al. (2007). Studies of bacterial communities and enzymatic activities in the polluted soils of the traffic, industrial and household waste dumping ground in Cluj-Napoca was carried out by Simule and Bularda (2009a, b). Ekranosols in the Cluj-Napoca city centre was investigated by Charzyński et al. (2011a).

With an area of 461.65 km2 and a population of about 200 000, Debrecen is the second largest and most populated city of the country. It is commonly known as the ‘Calvinist Rome’ or the ‘Civis city’. It is a cultural, economic, tourism and transport centre and one of the most dynamically developing city of Eastern Hungary. Debrecen environs were inhabited since the Ancient Ages. Before Hungarians, who were leading a nomadic lifestyle until about the year 800, more ethnical groups (Vandals, Goths, Avars, and Bulgarians) lived in the Carpathian Basin. The name of the city was first mentioned in 1235 in a church document and it earned the oppidum status in 1361. A 4–5 m deep trench was found around the settlement which served Fig. 1. Location of Debrecen defensive purposes. Trading was booming in the 16th century and most of the trade relations were established with the northern and western European countries. That was the time when the city converted to Protestantism. Debrecen is located on the border of Hajdúság and Nyírség landscapes. The first one represents a loess plateau landscape, whereas Nyírség is a lowland covered with sand dunes. This sandy region occupies an area north of the city and it is the highest part of 35 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas G. SÁNDOR, Gy. SZABÓ, P. CHARZYŃSKI, E. SZYNKOWSKA, T. J. NOVÁK, M. ŚWITONIAK the Great Hungarian Plain. The landscape limit can be found along the Böszörményi road − Nyugati street − Train Station line, however, at a depth of 5–10 m, it is difficult to establish a sharp boundary since the sand of Nyírség was deposited in multiple places onto the loess of Hajdúság during the last glaciation, and it appears that the sand is also covered with a thin loess film. The various landscape features affect also the soil conditions, therefore in the sand areas of Nyírség mostly Arenosols can be found on the surface. On the loess plains, including Hajdúság, Chernozem is the most frequent soil type (Martonné 2008). In the past, four different villages (almost completely vanished now) were located in the present-day city centre. In the place of the hub of the city centre, the present-day Kossuth Square, there was a wet dune within a depression where planks were used to make the traffic possible. Through the centuries, the natural deposits have been overlain by younger anthropogenic sediments, and today the original soil surface can be found at a depth of 2–3 m (Csorba 2008). The area has the highest ratio of soil sealing – 75%. The structure of the road network in the city centre is mostly radial. The area is built up mainly with 2–4 storey blocks and houses with a closed facade facing the street. The areas surrounding the city centre are higher, therefore the cultural layer is usually thinner. Recently in the eastern part of Debrecen, family houses have become a characteristic feature, and sealed areas represent less than 50%. Whereas in the western part of the city, 4–14 storey housing estates dominate and the sealed soils cover 50–75% (Szegedi 1999, 2003). From the aspect of air quality, Debrecen is a moderately polluted city, however, in the city centre, the pollution coming from the transportation is a major issue as the emission rate of nitrogen-oxide and volatile organic compounds is increasing. The industrial companies – the main sources of the polluting agents – are located in four industrial parks. In the industrial structure of the city, apart from the pharmaceutical, light, bearing and plastic industry, medical device manufacturing and electronics, also traditional, mainly food industry companies are significant. The Tiszántúl Environmental Protection, Nature Conservation and Water Management Inspectorate in a survey performed in 2009 registered 184 objects where operations are dangerous to the waters and the geological environment. Among others, dangerous pollution was detected in the area of TEVA pharmaceutical, the airport, the MÁV service station, the old communal dump site, the power plant and the petrol stations (The Environment Protection Program of Debrecen 2009). Regarding the soils of Debrecen, so far one research was carried out which deals with the distribution pattern of heavy metals coming from the transportation and its urban ecological effects. Szegedi (1999) established that the lead content in the soils is the highest in the city centre, near the roads with heavy traffic (at present or in the past) and in the industrial areas. The lowest heavy metal content was measured within the green areas. Based on the results of the research, it can be established that soils of playgrounds, recreational areas, small gardens and meadows near the roads are most TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas 36 TECHNOGENIC SOILS IN DEBRECEN sensitive in terms of exposure to heavy metals, because the latter can easily get into the human body from there. The study of Sándor and Szabó (IUSS Working Group WRB 2007) examines soil features modified by technogenic factors, the vertical distribution of the toxic heavy metals and classification of the soils according to the WRB system (2007). It can be said that soils of the centre of Debrecen are under strong technogenic influence, because of the accumulation of cultural layers and strong modifications in the majority of sections where the original soil structure cannot be recognized. In all of the examined sections, we found artefacts which were mostly building waste materials. The soils reaction was slightly alkaline. Higher pH is mainly caused by the occurrence of artefacts containing CaCO3, therefore the technogenic origin is evident. The vertical distribution of the humus content also indicates a strong technogenic effect; alternating layers of humus-rich and humus-poor soil layers were found towards the deeper levels. In the city centre, the ratio of the covered surfaces is very high, therefore almost exclusively Ekranic Technosols occur here; the most widely used qualifiers are Calcaric, Ruptic and Arenic. Soil pits 7-12 were dug during LiFES workshop supported by grant 2012-2-PL1-ERA10-28971 awarded by Polish Foundation for the Development of the Education System. 37 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas G.

Location in the heart of Central Europe on the banks of the Danube River (Fig. 1), and thus at the intersection of trade routes, determined the multicultural character of the city. Bratislava − the capital of the independent Slovak Republic since early 1993 − is situated between two orographic units: the Danube Basin and the Záhorska Basin in the foothills of the Little Carpathians, at the confluence of the Danube and Morava rivers. In the south and west, it is adjacent to the state borders of Hungary and Austria. The area of the city is 367.9 km2 with a population of 432,800 (2010). It is located at 17º7’ east longitude and 48º9’ north latitude, at an altitude of 126–514 m above sea level (top point Devinska Kobyla), the average altitude is 140 m above sea level. Besides the Danube, which flows through the city from west to south-east, the northwestern boundary of the Fig. 1. Location of Bratislava city is delineated by the Morava River, which flows into the Danube in Devin. Climate conditions are very mild with mean annual temperature of 9.6ºC, with the maximum of 20ºC in July and minimum of -1.6ºC in January. The total annual precipitation is 650–670 mm. The first traces of a permanent settlement are linked to the Neolithic Age (Celts, Romans and Slavs later). Three geomorphologic units can be distinguished in Bratislava: 1) Little Carpathians, 2) Zahorska Lowland (as part of the Vienna Basin) and 3) Danube Lowland (as part of the Little Danube Basin). The Little Carpathians are built of crystalline and Mesozoic rocks, lined by low-lying Neogene and Quaternary sediments. Záhorska lowland depressions in the foothills are filled by the Neogene Vienna Basin materials covered with 75 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas J. SOBOCKÁ debris and alluvial cones. Soils of sandy texture are also quite common. The Danube Lowland is a flat plane built mostly of the Holocene sandy-gravel and loamy sediments. Elevation differences in low-lying terraces are insignificant. The foothills of the Little Carpathians represent a narrow strip of higher, deforested area, which consists of Pleistocene alluvial cones and footslope debris. Anthropogenic soils dominate in Bratislava (33.5%; Sobocká et al. 2007), represented by Antrozems and Kultizems according to the taxonomy of the Morphogenetic Soil Classification System of Slovakia (Collective 2000). The second (26%) significant group consists of Fluvizems – soils developed in alluvial deposits. The next group of soils represents pedons with the mollic horizon (21%) (Phaeozems, Chernozems) associated with the Danube Lowland and the group of brown soils (Kambizems) occurring in the Little Carpathians (16%). The group of Rendzinas soils (2%) is represented in a single area of Devínska Kobyla. The built-up area in Bratislava is affected by strong technogenic activity. Soil in the urban area is present on the ground surface in the form of green exposures, mostly ornamental gardens, street alleys, recreation areas, children’s playgrounds and schoolyards, cemeteries, city parks etc. Soil of these areas was classified as Kultizems or Antrozems – highly dominant types in urban areas. Ornamental parks, orchards, gardens represent the soil type of Kultizems, which form the core of the Castle Hill. Kultizems are soils with a deep, transformed top horizon (more than 35 cm), while the origin of the soil can be determined based on the diagnostic remains of subsoil. The newly built residential areas, historic and commercial centres, and industrial zones are mapped and classified as Antrozems – artificial soils with antrozemic Ad-horizon formed from human-transported anthropogenic materials of different origin. The anthropogenic substrate is defined as human-transported material (HTM) of natural or natural-technogenic or technogenic origin. Such soils are not associated with specific ecological environment; they are significantly azonal and are a product of human, or civil-engineering activities. Technogenic material, formed during industrial processing, construction or mining and military activities is less safe for handling and difficult to diagnose. In Bratislava, we can recognize all subtypes of Antrozems but Initial Antrozems dominate, with an initial Adi-horizon having a thickness of 1–10 cm and containing at least 0.3% of organic carbon. Reclaimed Antrozems are soils with significantly improved fertility after reclamation treatments. An Antrozem’s covering subtype can be found on artificial surfaces consisting of soil improvers such as peat, humolit, compost, humic earth. It should be emphasized that soils in built-up areas, especially Antrozems, possess highly diverse as a consequence of entropically developed environment. This means that soil is without any horizontal internal structure, instead developed chaotic arrangement (Sobocká 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, 2010; Sobocká et al 2000; Sobocká, Poltárska 2004; Sobocká, Burghardt 2005; Sobocká, Fulajtár 2009). Soil types listed as Nekrozems, Ekranozems or Industrizems will be defined in the upcoming version of the Slovak Soil Classification System and will be referred to the soil type Technozem.

It covers an area of 300.55 km²; almost 24% are lands under water. The report on the state of Szczecin (2004) shows that the city is divided into four administrative districts: Downtown (with Międzyodrze), North, West and Right-Bank. In 2011, the population of Szczecin was 410 000 (Demographic Yearbook 2012). Kollender-Szych et al. (2008) provide a historical overview of the Szczecin city. In the area of present Szczecin, there was a settlement dated back to the period of the Lusatian culture, i.e. the 7th–6th century BC. In the 9th century, the Dukes of Slavic tribes built a castle surrounded by a moat, in the foothills of which a fishing settlement developed. In 967, Pomerania and Szczecin were annexed to Poland by Mieszko I. Szczecin consisted then of three parts: the castle, borough and the port. In 1181, the city with West Pomerania became a vassal of the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1243, Duke Barnim I granted Szczecin the town privileges. The town was occupied by the Swedes in 1630, and in 1713, the city was annexed to Prussia. The Russians besieged Szczecin during the Seven Years’ War. In the years 1806– 1813, Szczecin was under French occupation. The French dominion ended in December 1813 and was followed by Fig. 1. Location of Szczecin 93 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas E. MELLER, R. MALINOWSKI, E. NIEDŹWIECKI, K. MALINOWSKA, M. KUBUS Prussian and German rule. In 1873, the then Mayor of the city, Hermann Haken made the decision to pull down the walls and expand the city. During the Second World War, Szczecin was liberated on 26 April 1945, and the official transfer of the city to the Polish authorities took place on 5 July 1945. The time when Szczecin was surrounded by new walls (brick and stone) corresponds with the town privileges granted. Disposal of old wood and earthen embankments, and construction of a new defence system required major land levelling (Kotla 2001). They were carried out mainly in the Odra valley and on the island Łasztownia. These wetlands required significant superstructuring of soil banks for the development (Adamczak et al. 1999). The period of building the powerful fortress in Szczecin (by the Swedes and the Prussians) was also associated with a large-scale land levelling. Old moats were filled up, new excavations were created, old fortifications were surfaced and new earth ramparts and bastions were erected (Turek-Kwiatkowska and Białecki 1991; Kotla 2001). A huge amount of artefacts introduced into the soil, covered with natural levelling material, creates a cultural layer, which results in an increased thickness of the urban soil layer and a raised land surface (Chudecka 2009). After 1873, during the removal of fortifications, the ground defensive structures constructed in the earlier periods w ere levelled on a large scale. Consequently, the ground surface in the city is almost flat (Baranowska 2001). The late 19th and the early 20th century was a period of intensive development and industrialization of the city (Adamczak et al. 1999; Baranowska 2001). During the Second World War Szczecin was destroyed in 60–70% and turned into a pile of rubble. The city was covered with another cultural layer – the technogenic one. Reconstruction of Szczecin has resulted in new embankments consisted of debris and earth, as well as ground mixing for laying pipelines, drains and new power lines (Chudecka 2009). The study of technogenic soils of north-west Szczecin in areas along the roads with heavy traffic (Bohaterów Warszawy Av., Mieszka I st., Sprzymierzonych and Odrodzenia Sq. and Giedroycia Rbt.) and streets with little traffic (Chopina, Braniborska and Słowackiego sts.) was conducted by Niedźwiecki et al. (2009). The obtained results indicate that these soils consisted of thick layers of highly transformed silt loamy sand with admixtures of substrates of technical origin and in the upper layer − the fertilizing organic materials. The studies of technogenic soils in the oldest part of Szczecin (which dates back to the Roman times) were conducted by Chudecka (2009). The author showed that the thickness of man-made sediments reaches 6.2 m and is diverse in terms of particle size. Several scientific studies focused on heavy metal con amination in Szczecin soils, including: Piasecki et al. (1995), Wojcieszczuk and Niedźwiecki (2003), Niedźwiecki et al. (2004), Wojcieszczuk et al. (2006), Malinowska (2012).

The history of Toruń as an urban centre began on 18 December 1233 when the city rights were granted. In the Middle Ages, it was a prominent trade centre as a member of the Hanseatic League. Nowadays, because of the famous Gothic urban complex, the city is one of the most important and crowded tourist centres in Poland. The population of the city as of January 1st 2013 was 198 383 inhabitants. Toruń covers an area of 116 km2. It is located on the Vistula river, in the eastern part of the Toruń Basin (part of the Vistula ice marginal valley) in North Poland − 18º36’ E and 53º01’ N (Fig. 1). The genesis of the Toruń Basin is associated with erosion and accumulation processes induced by meltwaters during the recession of the Weichselian ice sheet. There is a set of eleven river terraces in the described area, built of thick sand series. Within the terraces, vast dune complexes occur. The origin of surface feature transformation in the area of Toruń goes back to the 13th century with the highest intensity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Nowadays the largest areas in Toruń are represented by flat lands, which have developed as a result of filling of Fig. 1. Location of Toruń primary or secondary depressions and levelling of natural convex forms (e.g. dunes). Human activity generates the development of negative and positive land forms, which contribute to specific technogenic relief within the city limits (Podgórski 1996). Destructive morphological activity of man was present, among others, in the construction of roads, streets, channels and drainage ditches, and levelling surfaces, etc. The impact of human activity led to a gradual transformation 111 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas P. CHARZYŃSKI, M. MARKIEWICZ, R. BEDNAREK, Ł. MENDYK of aeolian forms and to the total elimination of small dunes. The thickness of surface embankments within the administrative boundaries of the city varies depending on their age. In the medieval area of the city and in the left-bank Podgórz district, there are 2.5–4.0 m thick embankments. On the outskirts of the Old Town, their thickness increases to about 7 m. The embankments with a thickness of 1.0–2.5 m occur within the boundaries of the 19th century city (Fedorowicz 1993). The present state of urban soils in Toruń is a result of over 750-years of spatial development and an effect of human economic activity. The variety of technogenic soils can be found in Toruń: undisturbed and weakly transformed soils, urbisols, industrisols, garden soils, soils of parks and lawns, necrosols, ekranosols, constructosols and edifisols (Charzyński et al. 2013a). Urban forest soils (Podzols and Arenosols) cover about 23% of the city area. Changes in their morphology and properties are often relatively minor. Therefore, locally these soils can be classified even as natural. A large part of this area in the left-bank part of the city are military training grounds and locally soils are strongly transformed (Jankowski, Sewerniak 2013). The urban agricultural soils (mainly Fluvisols) are used as meadows, pastures and arable lands. They cover ca. 25% of the city area, but this value constantly decreases. Urbisols formed in the urban built-up area are characterised by varying degrees of morphological transformation. The soils occurring in the Old Town and downtown were formed on a well-developed cultural layer with the urbic horizon of a large thickness and high content of artefacts. The areas of relatively new housing estates are covered with incompletely developed urbisols. Toruń industry, and thus industrisols are concentrated in three parts of the city – western, north-eastern and southern. Allotment gardens in Toruń cover ca. 349 ha (3% of the total city area). The largest complex occurs in left-bank Toruń, in the Rudak quarter. Garden soils in Toruń cover a slightly larger area, because such soils can also be found in districts of detached houses. The soils of parks and grass plots cover 1.95% of the city area. Lawn soils are described by Charzyński et al. (2013b). There are 11 contemporary cemeteries in Toruń. Their soils – necrosols – were researched by Charzyński et al. (2011b). The largest homogeneous area of ekranosols in the city is located under the runway and taxiways of Toruń Aerodrome. Furthermore, ekranosols also occur under all asphalted or cemented streets, sidewalks and alleys in the city parks (Charzyński et al. 2011a, 2013d). Constructosols in Toruń are mainly represented by soils developed on forts (Jankowski et al. 2013) or some medieval walls, and soils of older sport grounds. Locally, edifisols can be found on some medieval structures and on ruined or badly maintained buildings (Charzyński et al. 2010, 2013c).

The history of Zielona Góra as an urban area began probably in the 13th century. The first information about the city foundation comes from 1222 (Schmidt 1922, 1928), but the very first Slavic settlement was probably founded even in the 10th century (Garbacz 2003). The settlement was formed on the right bank of the Złota Łącza stream, near a hill, later called the Brick Height. The first document marked as ‘territorio Grunenbergense’ dates from 1302. The city rights were probably granted in 1312 (Schmidt 1922; Ribbeck 1929). During the Middle Ages, Zielona Góra was surrounded by a wall, first a wooden palisade, followed by a stone and brick wall. It was demolished in the 18th and 19th centuries (only small fragments of the brick wall are visible today). By the end of the 18th century, it was a typical small town (8 000 inhabitants), based on agriculture and craft. Intensive industrialization processes took place in the 19th and early 20th century. The main factories in the city were connected with food processing, textiles and Fig. 1. Location of Zielona Góra metal industry. At the beginning of World War II, Zielona Góra was populated by 30 000 inhabitants, living over a relative small area. A large increase in the area and the population size has been observed since the mid-20th century, especially in the late 20th century. 141 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas ANDRZEJ GREINERT In Polish, Czech and German, the city’s name means a ‘green mountain’. Vineyards were present in Zielona Góra almost throughout the entire history of the city – the first plantation was probably established in 1150 (Czyżniewski 2010). It is the only urban area in Poland based on the tradition of wine production. Nowadays, the city is known mostly for this tradition. The population of the city, as of March 31st 2013, was 119 051 inhabitants. Zielona Góra covers an area of 5 864 ha. It is located on two geomorphological structures: glacier end-moraine (moraine belt) and moraine upland. The moraine belt in the southern part of the city is characterised by large differences in a relative height, exceeding 150 m (the highest point – Wilkanow Height – 221 m a.s.l.; 51º54’55.17” N 15º27’33.22” E). The northern part of the city is located within the moraine upland (70–100 m a.s.l.). The land cover in the city is not typical for modern agglomerations. A total area of 2 667 ha in Zielona Góra is covered by forests dominated by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Climatic conditions are characterised by the following indices (2011): average annual air temperature 9.7ºC, total annual precipitation 576 mm, average wind velocity 3.2 m∙s-1, insolation 1 937 h, average cloudiness in octants 4.7 (data source: Institute of Meteorology and Water Management 2012). The origin of surface feature transformation in the area of Zielona Góra goes back to the 13th century with the highest intensity in the 19th and 20th centuries. Human activity generates huge changes in the types of area development. First of all, the vineyards and orchards have been transformed into the residential areas, first with multi-family housing, later with detached houses. The second, very important spatial factor consisted in surrounding the industrial ring (the historical one located outside the city) by the residential areas. Morphological changes in the city were caused by, among others, preparation of levelled surfaces for houses (making the ‘platforms’ on the moraine slopes), construction of roads, streets and channels etc. An interesting form of human activity in the city area consisted in channelling the streams into the pipes laid under the city. The present state of urban soils is a result of different human activities: agricultural, urban and industrial. The areas covered with natural soils are still found within the city: (mainly Podzols and Brunic Arenosols, rarely Luvisols, Phaeozems, Gleysols and Histosols). Most of them are distinguished by major chemical transformations without changes in the morphology of soil Sites (Greinert 2003). Several different types of technogenic soils can be found in the city: urbisols, industrisols, garden soils, soils of parks and lawns, necrosols (relicts of several historical graveyards and cemeteries are to be found in the city centre), ekranosols and constructosols. The urban agricultural soils (mainly Phaeozems, Plaggic and Hortic Anthrosols) are used as allotment gardens. A large arable land (475 ha vs. residential area of 630 ha, industrial area of 236 ha) is a typical feature of Zielona Góra, next to a large forest area. Technosols are deeply transformed, including the enrichment with different construction and waste materials – a higher level of TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas 142 TECHNOGENIC SOILS IN ZIELONA GÓRA enrichment in the subsoil compared to the topsoil is a typical situation (Greinert 2003; Greinert et al. 2013). Brick fragments, mortar, gravel and slag are most often found. Usually all the soil Sites are destroyed during the construction work. A low pH value of the topsoil (0–20 cm) – pH – 0.01M CaCl2 of 3.2–4.5 − is a characteristic property of the forest soils outside the urban area. The analysis from Zielona Góra shows higher pH values in the forests – 4.3–5.3 (Greinert 2001) and significantly higher in the residential, traffic and industrial area – 6.4–8.3 (Greinert 2000, 2002, 2003). Considering the sandy texture and low content of organic carbon in the topsoil, the expected effect is a low content of elements in the soil, except for calcium (Greinert 2000, 2002, 2003; Greinert et al. 2013), and low EC values (0.1–0.3 mS∙cm-1) even on the roadsides (Greinert 2003, 2005; Greinert et al. 2013). A high concentration of Cu in several types of soil in the city is an interesting phenomenon connected with the presence of a vineyard in the past (the use of Bordeaux Mixture and slaked lime as a fungicide since 1882). 143 TECHNOGENIC SOILS atlas ANDRZEJ GREINERT Site 1 – Hortic Anthrosol Location: ‘Brick Height’ Vineyard Park, Zielona Góra, western Poland Coordinates: 51º56’15” N 15º30’43” E Altitude: 142.5 m a.s.l.
