Some Researches about the Soils Quality in the Aries Lower Corridor
Abstract
The studied area is presented as a depression called Aries Lower Valley, represented a contact unit, located between the Transylvanian Plain and Plateau Măhăceni , being a part of a wider close to the mountains area called Alba Iulia Aiud- Turda Valley. Taking place on approximately 50 km long, at the exit of the Aries River at Moldovenești-Buru Gorges, east of Trascău Mountains, with a width of 9-10 km, this territory is bounded on the west by the Mesozoic magmatic rocks of Piatra Secuiului area (Pop, 2001) and limestone strip of Trascău Mountains. The Aries Lower Valley represents a complex geographical unit located in a geomorphological contact area, with own geographical traits, were local natural factors influenced the suitability for the different forms of land-use. The orographic features resulting from the combination of elements like climate, hydrology, vegetation and soils cover gave a kind of coherence and unity for this geographical region.
