Litological discontinuities in Podzols developed from Upper Cretaceous sandstones in the Stołowe Mountains

Summary/Abstract: The data presented in this paper confirms the existence of lithological discontinuities in Podzols, usually at the boundaries between E and B horizons. This phenomenon is supported by the results of particle size analysis: changes in the content of medium sand, coarse and fine sand, fine silt and clay. The presence of lithological discontinuities zone is also indicatedd by sedimentological indexes, first of all the average diameter of grains, as well as the asymmetry of particle size distribution. Based on the above arguments it can be concluded that Podzols formed from Upper Cretaceous sandstones in the Stołowe Mountains are heterogeneous.
