The base-buffering properties of native and agrogenically transformed dark-humus gley soils of the Khanka Valley were studied using the method of equilibrium potentiometric titration. The major buffering systems of the soils under study were characterized. The highest base-buffering capacity was observed in the humus horizon of the dark-humus gley soil, where correlations between the buffer intensity, the exchangeable and total acidities, and the carbon content were revealed. In the agrogenically transformed soil, the base-buffering capacity decreased by an order of magnitude.
