Pralesní půdy se dosud vyvíjejí spontánně a faktory, které je spoluutvářejí, ještě nebyly výrazně změněny lidskými aktivitami. Ve studii se zabýváme evolucí půd v zalesněné krajině. Zvláštní pozornost věnujeme schopnosti stromů urychlovat nebo zpomalovat pedogenezi, měnit směr trajektorie vývoje půd a účastnit se svahových procesů. Půda následně formuje novou generaci stromů.

Old-growth forest soils have always developed spontaneously, without human in­tervention. This study deals with soil evolution in forested landscapes. Particular attention is paid to the ability of individual trees to accelerate or slow down soil formation processes, to change the pedoge­netical pathway, and to participate in slope processes. Soil subsequently co-forms a new generation of trees.
