The application of photointerpretation for recognizing and estimating alluvial soils beds in the area of flysch in the Polish Carpathian Mts.

Abstract

The very specific structure of mountain river terraces in the area of flysch in the Carpathian Mts. means, that the lowest terraces consist almost entirely of loose rocks (soils), when, at the same time higher terraces have in principle bipartite structure. The upper part of high terraces consists of cohesive soils, whereas the bottom (lower) part includes loose / non cohesive / soils.
