摘要：Five complex soil profiles in gully system on Nałeczów Plateau (E Poland) were examined. They represent theloess sediments modified by soil processes and postpedogenic transformations. Two examined profiles represent naturaland mature Luvisols with diagnostic illuvial horizon (Bt argillic) developed on the edge of plateau geomorphologic level andin the relict valley bottom. The other soil profiles reflects postpedogenic soil degradation, redeposition and secondary accumulation(deluvia, colluvia and/or proluvia). Record of these processes are the micromorphological features created bylithological processes (=primary loess and secondary pedoliths) or by pedogenesis (mainly bioturbation, illuviation, de- andrecalcification). The important group of microfeatures are pedorelicts which clearly confirm genetic dependences ofpedoliths (deluvia and proluvia) and soils developed in situ and located in higher hypsometric levels in the catchment.
