In environments with high precipitation, eluvial–illuvial processes play a key role in pedogenesis. Vertical translocation of clay leads to the formation an argic horizon. Such soils are global importance and formed on different rock substrates under climatic conditions. However, pedogenesis clay-rich developed limestone humid temperate climates has not been sufficiently investigated. Therefore...

Abstract. Loess–palaeosol sequences (LPSs) are key archives for the reconstruction of Quaternary environmental conditions, but there is a lack investigated records from southern Upper Rhine Graben (southwestern Germany). To close this gap, LPS at Bahlingen-Schönenberg was high resolution using multi-method approach. Infrared stimulated luminescence screening reveals major hiatus in lower part t...

In forested ecosystems, water soluble organics play an important role in soil processes including carbon and nutrient turnover, microbial activity and pedogenesis. The quantity and quality (i.e., chemistry) of these materials is sensitive to land management practices. Monitoring alterations in the chemistry of water soluble orgat~ics resulting from land management practices is difficult because...

Background Ridge and furrow (RIFU) systems associated soils are a widespread legacy of medieval agriculture, archives historical land use, might affect recent ecosystems. Open questions about RIFU formation potential effects still exist, especially related to physical soil properties. Aims Our aims were (1) characterize the properties (2) compare drought sensitivity growth resistance in extreme...

Existem muitas lacunas referentes ao conhecimento do semiárido brasileiro, principalmente, em relação aos estudos que fazem associações solo-relevo. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho foi executar uma análise integrada das relações pedogeomorfológicas no médio a baixo curso da Bacia Hidrográfica Rio Piranhas, brasileiro. Realizou-se revisão bibliográfica, análises gabinete e trabalhos de ...
