| Estonica : Nature : The Quaternary cover and soil cover (1045 words) |
 | About ten types of soil are distinguished in Estonia, differing from one another in their distribution, structure, properties and the ways they are used. |
| Limestone rendzinas (Rendzic Leptosols) on alvars occur in North and West Estonia, where limestone bedrock lies close to the land surface. |
| Ryhk and pebble rendzinas (Rendzic Leptosols and Calcaric Regosols) on calcareous sceletal till can also be found mainly in North and West Estonia, although in areas of thicker quaternary cover. |
