Historic landscape management: a validation of quantitative soil thin-section analyses
The archaeological interpretation of past land management practices can be greatly enhanced through examination of soil thin sections. Features relating to manuring practice are among those key to interpreting agricultural practices. The sources and the processes leading to the distribution of these manure materials may further improve knowledge of the past landscape utilisation. The use of qua...
متن کاملMultifractal Analyses of Grayscale and Binary Soil Thin Section Images
Multifractal analyses of binary images of soil thin sections (STS) are widely used to characterize pore structure. However, no geometrical model is known to exist for a binary multifractal. Thus, the multifractality of binary images, and the accuracy of multifractal parameters estimated from them, need to be carefully evaluated. We captured 8-bit depth resolution digital grayscale images of thr...
متن کاملAgricultural management explains historic changes in regional soil carbon stocks.
Agriculture is considered to be among the economic sectors having the greatest greenhouse gas mitigation potential, largely via soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, it remains a challenge to accurately quantify SOC stock changes at regional to national scales. SOC stock changes resulting from SOC inventory systems are only available for a few countries and the trends vary widely be...

متن کاملHistoric Human Use of the Landscape
This chapter reviews tidal wetlands that occur along the Atlantic coast of the United States from the northern border of North Carolina to the northern distribution limit of mangroves in central Florida. The South Atlantic coast has a warm climate, a wide tidal range, and fewer anthropogenic impacts than the North and Central Atlantic coasts. It is a gently sloping coast that supports extensive...
