Moştenire de LA V. V. Dokuceaev

Abstract

The progress of knowledge about soils in the world and at the national level has established that soil is an organically-mineral body, self-contained, possessing a characteristic specific to its own - fertility. The Russian soil scientist V.V. Dokuceaev writes (1900) that the soils of Bessarabia are particularly fertile, showing a collection of soil samples collected by the scientist during his expedition (1898), a collection that is located at the Museum of Natural Sciences of the State University of Moldova. The quality of soils, during their evolution and being used in agriculture, has suffered a significant degradation.
