For the Year 2025 Soil of Estonia by the Estonian Soil Science Society (ESSS) was elected Skeletic Regosol (as named by World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB)), which is one of subspecies of Coarse Rich Ryhky Soils (by Estonian Soil Classification (ESC)). Although these soils form less than 0,2% from the whole soil cover of Estonia, they merit an attention from the aspect of peculiarities of their forming, which have been taken place on narrow coastal area on the border between sea and mainland. Skeletic Regosols have been formed only on these littoral areas, which is rich mainly in coarse calcareous earth materials as limestone or dolomite containing also small stones (ryhk, pebble, shingle) and large stones. Besides that, these soils are as well rich in different kind of eruptive rocks of the size of small and large stones. The most part of Skeletal Regosols’ coarse fraction was formed under the influence of breaking waves, which were induced by strong sea winds.
The main criteria of Ryhky Soils’ identification after ESC are the content and shape of small stones (Ø 1‒10 cm), water regime of soil cover, and fabric of soil profiles. Ryhky soils are divided into subspecies by the by the shape of small stones. In ryhky soils among others the ryhk fraction is dominated, but in Pebble soils the pebble and in Shingly soils the shingle fractions are dominating.
In the development of Skeletic Regosols or of Shingle soils two development stages is separated. During the first Skeletic Regosols’ abnormal development stage only the primitive shingle rich parent material for these soils have been formed on the border area between mainland and sea. But during this period the soil forming processes are practically absent. During the second development stage of Skeletic Regosols development ie. after with draw of sea water the normal soil forming processes are taken place. As a result of this are formed humus horizons and activated biological cycling on chemical elements and others. In the article the soil forming conditions, coarse earth’s fractions shape and size, development stages of soil profiles, as well soils productivity, humus status, distribution, and agrochemical properties are treated.
