Weathering intensity and trace elements (Ni, Sr, Zn, and Cr) distribution in Vertisols developed on basalt in a semiarid environment: agronomic implications

Frontiers in Soil Science
Chemical weathering, a major geomorphic process, controls soil formation and evolution at the Earth’s surface and is strongly influenced by prevailing environmental conditions.

Where geology meets pedology: Late Quaternary tephras, loess, and paleosols in the Mamaku Plateau and Lake Rerewhakaaitu areas

, 2012
On this trip we focus on tephrostratigraphy and soil stratigraphy together with aspects of palaeoenvironmental reconstruction over long and short time-spans.

Modelling Pedogenesis in the Anthropocene

, 2014
The objective of this paper is to develop a framework for pedogenetic modelling in the Anthropocene, i.e., the present geological epoch during which humanity has become the main factor impacting the environment.

Cold desert soil formation in Heritage Range, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
The Ellsworth Mountains represent a significant gap in pedological studies in Antarctica, particularly concerning soil formation at the local level. This study focused on 22 soil profiles from the southern portion of the Ellsworth Mountains, developed on

Modelling pedogenesis in the anthropocene

, 2013
The objective of this paper is to develop a framework for pedogenetic modelling in the Anthropocene, i.e., the present geological epoch during which humanity has become the main factor impacting the environment. We review the concepts of soil evolution as well as 15 existing quantitative models to determine the features of soil evolution modelling in ...

Exploring soil pedogenesis through frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility in varied lithological environments

The use of percent frequency-dependent magnetic susceptibility (χfd%) is well-established for detecting superparamagnetic (SP) components in fine-grained soils and sediments. This study employs χfd% as a direct indicator of pedogenetic processes in soils
