Abstract

Ferruginization as one of the most characteristic processes in soils of Georgia, has been investigated both qualitatively and quantitatively mainly micropedologically, by polarizing microscopy on thin sections. A study was undertaken to determine some of pedological factors affecting the genesis of Fe-formations in soils series of West and East Georgia. This process is diagnosed by the presence of different forms of ferrous formations, concentration level or iron crystallization, ferruginized micro-zones of plasma impregnation with ferric hydroxides, etc. A map showing the distribution of the ferrugination process in the soils of Georgia was created.
