Abstract

Granulodensimetric soil fractions isolated from chernozem, gray forest soil, and soddy-podzolic soil have been studied using a scanning electron microscope. The studies confirmed that the light fractions with density 53 μm mainly consists of plant residues; however, they also contain mineral particles covered with relatively thick organomineral films and carbonaceous substances. It has been shown that the clay fraction consists of a mixture of ultramicroaggregates of clay minerals ≤1 μm in size covered with a hydrophilic organomineral gel, and the organic matter of the residual fraction includes a stable highly aromatized (lignin-like) material, as well as coals and coal-like materials.
