Abstract

The role of ornithogenic factor in the formation of soils and soil cover patterns in continental and maritime Antarctica is considered. The results of long-term soil studies at key sites in coastal oases of East Antarctica (Larsemann Hills, the Haswell Islands) and on the Subantarctic islands (King George Island, Livingston Island, the Argentine Islands) are summarized. The influence of the penguin rookeries on the morphology and physicochemical properties of soils is shown. These rookeries determine the vast spatial zones of biogeochemical influence on the environment around themselves. Special attention is paid to the phenomenon of ornithochory, which is maintained by the flying seabirds (skuas, albatrosses, terns, petrels, etc.) and is manifested in redistribution of vegetation, soil material, and meso- and microbiota to the areas that were previously free of vegetation and soil cover (periglacial areas, fresh moraines, rocky outcrops, etc.).

南极土壤形成的鸟类成因因素研究进展

摘要

考虑到鸟类和生鸟因子在大陆和海洋南极洲的土壤形成和土壤覆盖模式中的作用。总结了在南极东部沿海绿洲（Larsemann Hills，哈斯韦尔群岛）和亚南极岛屿（乔治王岛，利文斯顿岛，阿根廷群岛）的关键地点进行的长期土壤研究的结果。显示了企鹅群对土壤形态和理化性质的影响。这些群体决定了生物地球化学对自身周围环境影响的广阔空间区域。要特别注意鸟类的食管鸟类现象，这种现象是由飞行的海鸟（斯夸斯犬，信天翁，燕鸥，海燕等）维持的，表现在植被，土壤物质的重新分布，
