soil cover of gilgai complexes: Peculiarities of the development in subtropical and temperate climates

Morphological and analytical data on soils of gilgai complexes in the subtropical climate of Texas are presented. A comparative analysis of gilgai soil complexes in subtropical and temperate (North Caucasus) climates is given. Common features and distinctions in morphological, chemical, and physical properties of these soils, characteristic soil processes, and spatial variability of soils within gilgai soil complexes in subtropical and temperate climates are outlined.
