dc.descriptionChernozem is the predominant soil of Moldova and the country’s greatest natural treasure. Its profile is very thick, well humified and well structured – properties inherited from the steppe. Only grassland with its many-branched and deeply-ramified root system is able to produce abundant organic matter and humifi- cation throughout the solum. The underlying horizon, enriched in secondary carbonates, is a marker of the soil water regime that determines the different subtypes of chernozem. From north to south, less and less water percolates through the profile; in phase with the water regime, Leached chernozem gives way to Typical chernozem which, in turn, gives way to Carbonate chernozem. All chernozem share the thick, black, granular topsoil – remarkable for its fertility and resilience – but more than a century of cropping has degraded the chernozem; even where the soil profile is intact, it has lost half of its native humus and requires different and better treatment if its productivity is to be sustainable.-
