Soil Profile Im Weingebirge
Two types of highly differing rock occurring in the Mautern Weingebirge could not contrast more starkly: at bottom, a dark, approx. 350-million-year-old amphibolite; above, loess from the most recent glaciation period lasting until about 12,000 years ago; below, pure silicate rock material; above, 20–30 per cent lime content; below, rock transformed through orogenic processes; above, material deposited by winds; below, solid; above, easily penetrated by roots and with ample water storage capacity etc. Many contrasting characteristics could be added to the list.
