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.

Leaf leachates as a factor in pedogenesis

, 1955
The phenomena of iron reduction and migration, which are characteristic of gley and podsolized soils, are generally regarded as being caused by the action of the humose upper horizons normally present in these soils.
