Soils derived from Pieniny andesite , Wdżar hill , Outer Carpathians ( Poland )

Tertiary andesite occurs in only few places in Polish part of the Outer Carpatians. The biggest andesitic body is observed at the Wdżar hill (676 m a.s.l), SE from Kluszkowce village. To the beginning of the 1970s active quarry were located at the hill slope, and from the end of 1990s Wdżar is used as a ski resort. Because Wdżar is the culmination protruding over sandstones and shales of Magura Unit of Outer Carpatians, it gives opportunity to investigate soils derived directly from the andesite.
