Abstract The transport medium, mode, energy, and distance are recorded in the grain‐size and grain‐shape distributions in a sedimentary deposit. While grain‐size analysis has long been used in sedimentology, grain‐shape analysis is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool for reconstructing sedimentary processes and palaeoenvironments.

ABSTRACT Preserved allocyclic signatures in the rock record often reflect basin‐scale climatic variability and serve as key proxies for correlating ancient dryland successions. The notion of climate cyclicity, however, remains largely untested on regionally constrained, outcrop‐calibrated studies.

Mineralogical Characteristics and The Pedogenetic Processes of Soils on Coral Reefs in Ambon
http://dx.doi.org/10.17014/ijog.vol4no1.20093The mineralogical characteristics of soils developed on coral reef parent materials in Hitu and Wailiha, Ambon, were investigated regarding to the relationship to pedogenesis.

ABSTRACT Characterizing the transit times or ‘ages’ of water through soil–plant systems is important for modelling ecohydrological processes and improving the accuracy of climate and terrestrial biosphere models (CTBMs). Soil–plant transit times, however, remain poorly characterized. Here, we revisit and leverage a unique isotope labelling dataset from

3D representation of soil distribution: An approach for understanding pedogenesis Représentation 3D des sols, apports à la compréhension de la pédogenèse [PDF]
International audienceSoils are characterised by a spatial variability in the three dimensions (3D) of space. However, 3D studies remain scarce due to the qualitative nature of many soil horizon characteristics, notably the horizon designation.

Grow With the Flow? Impact of Experimental Floods on Riparian Vegetation in an Alpine River
ABSTRACT Experimental floods have been proposed as a measure to mitigate effects of river flow regulation, primarily vegetation encroachment, streambed colmation, and loss of bed and channel mobility. In this study, we investigated the short‐ and long‐term biogeomorphic effects of an experimental flood programme conducted in the Spöl River (Swiss Alps)

Os brejos de altitude nordestinos constituem uma disjunção da mata atlântica, formando ilhas de floresta úmida em plena região semiárida, tendo uma condição climática bastante atípica, favorecida pela ocorrência de chuvas orográficas, com precipitação ...

Abstract Extensive research over the past two decades has shown that early Mars likely had a warmer, wetter climate with widespread water activity. Ferromagnesian (Fe,Mg‐rich) clay deposits are compelling markers of these ancient environments, helping reconstruct Mars' hydrologic evolution, assess past habitability, and guide future exploration.

Genesis of Soils from Bauxite in Southeastern Brazil: Resilication as a Soil-Forming Process
Pedological studies using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) showed a Xanthic Ferralsol formed from the degradation of bauxite on a slope in the Caparaó region, in ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mixed dipterocarp lowland tropical rain forests on Oxisols and Ultisols and heath forests on Spodosols are considered distinct vegetation types in Borneo. Here we present the endmember hypothesis of ecosystem diversification, which describes a continuum of forest ...
