Contributions to the Knowledge of Soil Resources of Cuca Plain

Abstract

The territory to which we refer is located in the geographical area of the Romanian Plain, north-eastern sector, representing a subunit of Plain Covurlui. From the administrative point of view this territory belongs entirely Galaţi County. Since the first review of Cuca Plain territory fragmentation is found in the form of ridges interfluvial oriented northwest-southeast separated by a river system consistent. The provision gives relief peaks ordely character of monotony. Starting from the idea that the soil appears as a product of the interaction of many factors, we can say that the formation of soil cover of Cuca Plain took part relief, parent material, climate, groundwater, vegetation, human activity. Under the influence of environmental factors and pedogenetic processes in the Cuca Plain were differentiated two classes of soils, namely: protisols and cernisols.
