The profiles in the bird colony and in its close proximity have been described, explored chemically and characterized mineralogically, especially in the zone of deep metasomatic phosphatization of stony and clayish weathered covers. The semantics of ornithogenic soils was discussed in terms of their genesis and morphology as well as the dependence of phosphatization with species selectivity of breeding sites of the pygoscelid penguins.}, type={Article}, title={Ornithogenic soils on King George Island, South Shetland Islands (Maritime Antarctic Zone)}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/111473/PDF-MASTER/1984_1-2_031-060.pdf}, keywords={Maritime Antarctic Zone, volcanic island, penguin guano, ornithogenic soils, phosphatized rocks}, }
