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?

Effect of pedogenesis on the stable isotopic composition of calcretes and n‐alkanes: Implications for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction

Sedimentology, 2018
In a fluvial system, depending on sub‐aerial exposure, non‐pedogenic pond calcretes can be modified into pedogenic calcretes. The present study attempts to understand the effect of sub‐aerial exposure and pedogenesis on calcretes using carbon and oxygen ...

Pedogenesis in disturbed alpine soils (NW Italy)

Geoderma, 2002
In alpine environments, natural or man-induced disturbances are fairly common and acknowledged as determining factors in pedogenesis and soil distribution. We have selected a representative alpine valley in the Italian Northwestern Alps to evaluate the effects of perturbations of different intensity and frequency on soil development and weathering ...

Quantitative models for pedogenesis — A review

Geoderma, 2008
Abstract Pedogenesis models should give us answers to: how does soil form, how does it evolve, where does it come from and how long does it take to reach this state? This paper reviews quantitative models that describe pedogenesis ab initio and the processes that directly lead to development or evolution of soil. We review factorial, energy, and mass-

Conceptual Approaches to Pedogenesis

2004
To fully appreciate and apply pedologic principals in archaeology, some of the theoretical underpinnings of pedology and especially soil geomorphology must be outlined. Pedologists and soil geomorphologists have attempted to describe, if not model, the processes of soil formation, the factors that drive the processes, and the evolution of soils as ...

Progressive Pedogenesis of Eolianite Sandstone

SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1975
ABSTRACT Pedological processes occur during subaerial diagenesis, in the rhizosphere, the zone in which the root system of plants is active. Some plant roots may penetrate deep into the sediment. As a result of extensive evaporation and calcium ion concentration, CaCO3 is concentrated at the sediment/root interface in column formations that surround ...
