Страничка сборника - https://www.mdpi.com/journal/geosciences/special_issues/imprint_palaeoenvironments_soils_palaeosols Soils and palaeosols are valuable archives of environmental changes and human-environmental interactions from Palaeolithic to modern times. In general, soils develop under the influence of various environmental factors that produce specific soil features. Thus, the observation of certain features in palaeosols may be used for environmental reconstruction. In addition, over the Holocene period, human activity increasingly shaped many environments, resulting in characteristic modifications of the land surface and soils over time. Buried soils in the context of such sites record the combinations of environmental factors that were present during the time of their formation and thus influenced the human communities living at these sites at that time. This Special Issue aims at gathering studies in which soils and palaeosols are used as records of former environments that influenced human societies and, vice versa, as records of the influence of these societies on their environment. We welcome contributions on the influence of environmental factors on pedogenesis, on the use of soils and palaeosols as records of present and former environments, on advances in geochemical, (sub-)microscopic and other techniques in (palaeo-)pedology, and on evaluating the archaeological relevance and heritage value as well as developing conservation strategies for palaeosols representing valuable palaeoenvironmental archives.
