Podzolise is a geological process that occurs in soils characterized by a specific type of soil profile known as podzols. The term "podzolise" refers to the formation and development of podzols and involves the leaching and translocation of minerals from the upper soil layers to the lower layers.
During podzolise, the uppermost layer of the soil, called the "O horizon" or organic layer, receives a constant supply of organic material, typically in the form of decaying leaves or humus. This organic matter undergoes decomposition, releasing acids that gradually move down through the soil profile. As these acids percolate through the soil layers, they dissolve and mobilize iron, aluminum, and other minerals in the soil.
The dissolved minerals are then translocated downward, primarily through a process known as eluviation, which involves the downward movement of minerals in water that percolates through the soil. As these leached minerals are transported to lower layers, they accumulate in a distinct layer called the "B horizon" or illuvial horizon. This accumulation of minerals gives podzols their characteristic pale coloration due to the removal of iron and aluminum from the upper layers of the soil.
Overall, podzolise is a natural soil weathering process that occurs in temperate and boreal forests, typically under coniferous vegetation. It is characterized by the formation of a distinct soil profile with a prominent eluvial horizon and is associated with acidic conditions, low fertility, and limited organic matter accumulation.
