Selected cases of subaqueous soils in Slovenian coastal waters

Repe, Blaž (author), Pristovšek, Alja (author)

The soil is mainly on the mainland, but also in shallow waters, the so-called subaqueous soils. Subaqueous soils form under the water surface, mainly on the bottom of shallow, stagnant waters such as bogs, swamps, lakes, and sea shallows. In St. Bartholomew, three subaqueous soil profiles were studied to investigate them in detail. The sites for recording the soil profiles were selected at random, with the aim of finding a different type of vegetation at each site. We found that the soils were influenced by almost the same factors of subaqueous soil formation; thus, the same soil forming processes of different intensity took place. Therefore, the same, very similar types of subaqueous soils were developed at each site. All samples were collected underwater using drainage pipes and by excavation. The samples were drained in the pipes. In the laboratory, visual observations and standard analysis were performed according to the horizons determined. According to the WRB classification, subaqueous soils in Slovenian coastal waters were classified asreference groups Gleysols and, Arenosols.
