We are pleased to announce that Agnieszka Przybył, PhD is a co-author of the scientific article entitled “Stages and chronology of Late Holocene transformation of Chernozems into Luvisols in the loess belt of south-west Poland”, published in the prestigious journal Catena.

The article presents the results of pedological research on the evolution of Chernozems in the loess belt of south-west Poland. The authors focus on soil transformations that occurred from the Neolithic period, through the Bronze Age, to the Early Middle Ages. Evidence of these changes comes from palaeosols discovered beneath monumental Neolithic tombs, Early Medieval burial mounds, and – likely dating to the Middle Bronze Age – circular barrows from the vicinity of Muszkowice in Lower Silesia and Lwowiany in Upper Silesia.

The study contributes to the understanding of soil-forming processes in this region, examined in the context of past human activity and climatic changes.

We extend our warm congratulations and encourage you to explore the publication!
