3. Characterization of soil in the ground<br />

waves<br />

The two waves of ground on which to install the<br />

protection forest belts, have resulted mainly from the<br />

storage of the earth stripped for the implementation of<br />

the factory <strong>and</strong>, therefore, contain mosaic mixtures<br />

from different horizons of levigated <strong>and</strong> rendzinic<br />

chernozems specific to the sector between Brasov <strong>and</strong><br />

Stupini (Chiriţă et al., 1967; Târziu et al., 2002),<br />

predominating the upper horizons (Photo 5), but there<br />

are also present parts of pseudopgleic <strong>and</strong> skeletal<br />

horizons (Photo 6).<br />

Photo 5. Soil sampling on the ground wave<br />

Thus, of the nine soil samples analyzed (Table 1)<br />

result the following defining characteristics of the<br />

waves of ground:<br />

- A loamy texture, with 1.6 to 4.6% s<strong>and</strong>, 71.0 to<br />

83.0% dust (loam) <strong>and</strong> from 14.4 to 28.8% clay;<br />

- A carbon content of 4.6 to 8.2 g / kg.;<br />

- A slightly alkaline pH between 7.8 to 8.1.<br />
