Workshop on modelling of pedogenesis

open access: yes, 2006
Human activities and climate change are acting as factors that affect soil evolution (pedogenesis). Their consequences are however poorly known and quantified. To be able to predict soil evolution in the future as a function of different climate scenarios and systems of land use management, modelling approaches are necessary.

Establishing the role of pedogenesis in changing soil hydraulic properties

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, 1993
Chronosequences provide suitable sources for the study of changes in soil hydraulic behaviour as a result of long-term pedogenesis. For a podsol chronosequence in the Scottish Highlands, data are presented to indicate the changes that have occurred over ...

ARCTIC PEDOGENESIS

Soil Science, 1988
The analysis of soil solutions generated by a large, isolated, summer rainstorm in the boreal forest of arctic Alaska has provided direct evidence for threshold-controlled subsurface translocation in soils. Intense leaching apparently initiates progressive weakening and eventual break-down of amorphous particle coatings in the Bs horizon. The result is

Soil Animals and Pedogenesis

Soil Science, 2016
The role of earthworms as one of the most important groups of ecosystem engineers in human-modified and natural environments has been increasingly recognized only during the last 30 years, yet earthworms and humans have been acting together in building landscapes for millennia.

Pedogenesis and Root Development in a Complex Geomorphologic Setting of the Faroe Islands

open access: yesCommunications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2007
Studies of pedogenesis in basaltic soils within the cool, temperate zone were fairly limited. This study looked at pedogenesis and root development in Norðradalur of the Faroe Islands.

Rates of Pedogenesis in Reclaimed Lands as Compared to Rates of Natural Pedogenesis

Soil Horizons, 2014
Reclamation is performed on disturbed lands to return the land to productivity as rapidly as possible. From the perspective of the pedologist, the ultimate in reclamation would be to return the soil resource to its previous condition as rapidly as possible, but do reclamation methods increase rates of pedogenesis?

Pedogenesis in Mine Tailings

Proceedings of the International Conference on Mine Closure, 2006
Although mine tailings dams are man-made deposits it is anticipated that soil forming (pedogenic) processes are active e.g. translocation and transformation. These two main groups of soil forming processes are controlled by environmental factors, also called soil forming factors; parent material, climate, topography, and biota. In the case of man

Quantifying grain size distribution of pedogenic magnetic particles in Chinese loess and its significance for pedogenesis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research, 2005
Quaternary glacial/interglacial cycles have been imprinted on the Chinese loess/paleosol sequences through pedogenesis. In order to accurately decode the paleoclimatic signals carried by these pedogenic particles it is essential to quantify the ...

EVOLUTION MODEL OF PEDOGENESIS

Soil Science, 1987
This comprehensive model of soil genesis is based on the observation that soils (S) evolve along two coacting pathways: progressive (P) and regressive (R). For all soils S=f(P, R). The progressive pathway includes conditions, processes, and factors that promote horizonation, developmental ...
