title: Iron Compounds in Steppe Soils of the East-European Plain: Association with Soil Processes, Paleoclimatic Aspects
abstract: The total content, forms, and mineralogy of iron compounds in soils of forest-steppe, steppe, and semidesert zones of a large territory from the central chernozem regions to the Caspian lowland and from the Southern Urals to the Kerch Strait are studied. The study covers Chernozems (n = 40), Kastanozems (n = 15), Solonetzes (n = 7), and Calcisols (n = 7). Our results demonstrate the specific features in the distribution of total iron content, mass balance (τFe, Zr), forms of iron compounds, magn
