Soil chronosequences, soil development, and soil evolution: a critical review
Catena, 1998Soils chronosequences are valuable tools for investigating rates and directions of soil and landscape evolution. Post-incisive chronosequences are the most common type of chronosequence. They are found in many landscapes, including sand dunes, glacial moraines, landslide scars, old pasture, burnt landscape patches, old mining areas, lava flows ...

Annual soil temperature evolution
Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1991A model to study the annual behaviour of the temperature of a homogeneous solid (considered like a semispace) will be presented in this paper. The model gives the temperature of the solid at any time and at any depth. It assumes the solar flux as the incoming flux, constant atmospheric effects and a simple expression for the outgoing flux.

The Evolution of Soil Mineralogy
Soil Horizons, 2015Soil mineralogy is the study of natural inorganic compounds with definite physical, chemical, and, in some instances, crystalline properties that encompass the fields of physics, chemistry, geology, biology, agronomy, and soil science. Soil mineralogy has a rich history that involves the study of the soil through clay particles, physical properties ...

Evolution of Pathogens in Soil
2014This chapter discusses the genetic diversity within the soil environment and some of the mechanisms that generate genetic diversity within soil-dwelling bacteria. It highlights how the physical and chemical (abiotic) properties of the soil and the living organisms (biotic) within the soil might act as selective forces on existing genetic variations ...

The Moon, 1975
Comminution, agglutination, and replenishment processes in a lunar soil are modeled by a system of time-dependent linear differential equations. In the model, a soil is subdivided into coarse-particle, fine-particle, and agglutinate fractions. The relative mass abundance of each component in a mature soil is found to be proportional to rates for the ...

Soils and archaeological sites are intimately related to the landscape. Investigating soils across past and present landscapes provides a means of reconstructing and understanding the regional environmental and geomorphic context of archaeological site settings and specific site locations, regional site formation processes, and aspects of the resources

Soils and Quaternary Landscape Evolution
The Geographical Journal, 1985This book examines a period of spectacular environmental change, the Quaternary, with respect to soil-landscape relationships in Western Europe, the British Isles and North America. The possibilities for using soils as climatic indicators in the same way as fossils are discussed.

THE NATURAL EVOLUTION OF A BURNED SOIL
Soil Science, 1987ABSTRACT Some years ago we performed an experimental burning on a Sardinian soil, characterized by surficial layers of soil that repel water slightly, to clarify the effect of fire on some factors associated with soil erodibility. The experimental plot, after the fire, remained protected by anthropic interference and was subject only to natural ...

Use of Soil Maps to Interpret Soil-Landform Assemblages and Soil-Landscape Evolution
2023Soils are a key link to the surficial sedimentologic system(s) that originally deposited the unconsolidated parent material, or to the weathering system that formed the residual parent material. In young soils, i.e., those formed since the end of the Pleistocene, parent materials can often be identified as to type, enabling accurate links to their past

Pedogenic evolution of paddy soils in different soil landscapes
Geoderma, 2003Paddy soils are Hydragric Anthrosols and are an important soil resource for food production. They are widely distributed in China and Asia. Soils that can be used for paddy cultivation vary considerably but basically are grouped into three kinds of landscape, i.e., well-drained sloping uplands, alluvial plains with groundwater fluctuation, and poorly ...
