Аннотация: This is an editorial to the Catena Special Issue "Contemporary soils and paleosols: Records of past environmental conditions and human activities". A text below briefly overview key topics of the issue.Soils develop under the influence of various environmental factors that produce specific soil features and thus keep a record, archive, memory of nowadays and past environments. They also are a valuable archive of past human activity, which has increasingly shaped environments and affected soil formation over the Holocene period. Knowledge of rates and processes of soil formation and their relation to environmental factors is an essential basis for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions and forecasts of soil responses to environmental change. Paleosols, developed under the influence of past environmental conditions, and soils of archaeological sites are considerably valuable archives which can be studied to reconstruct past environments and human land use, or to disentangle the relative influences of anthropogenic activities and environmental background conditions on soil formation. Comprehending the effects of past human land use on the properties of contemporary soils furthermore contributes to an improved understanding of the properties and spatial patterns of contemporary soil landscapes. This special issue integrates research examining the factors and processes of pedogenesis and on applying related knowledge in studies of paleosols and anthropogenically-affected soils. The key topics under discussion are: - effects of landscape and climatic conditions on spatial and temporal patterns of pedogenesis - formation of palaesols and palaeo-environmental reconstructions based on palaeosols - soil forming processes in anthropogenically-affected areas and the relative contributions of environmental conditions and human influence on soil formation - characteristics of soils affected by (pre-)historic human influence and their relevance for contemporary ecosystems
