Specific Features of Island Soil Formation (by the Example of Islands of the Northwest Pacific)
Tóm tắt
Soils of the Northwest Pacific, differing from continental soils, have been characterized on the basis of published data. It has been revealed that the climatic factor plays a great role in their formation. This is related to the precipitation amount, regime, and intensity, as well as to heat supply determined not only by insolation, but also by the wind regime and the presence of warm and cold currents. In addition, there is also an impulverization transportation of sea water salts with liquid precipitation. The distance from the continent and the size of islands determine the effect of these factors. The ornithogenic factor related to numerous large seabird colonies plays a particular role. All this determines the specificity of soil formation on the islands.
