Chronosequences and associated space-for-time substitutions are an important and fruitful
means for investigating the rates and directions of soil and ecosystem evolution across …

The studied soil profile under the Main Market Square (MMS) in Krakow was characterised
by the influence of medieval metallurgical activity. In the presented soil section lithological …

A soil quality index (SQI) can be used to manage the soil for potential uses and remediate
limitations of soil for sustainable agriculture and ecology. The objectives of this study were to …

Soil classification and terminology are fundamental issues for the clear understanding and

Dynamics of reclaimed coastal wetland soils under cultivation has not been well understood,
especially at temporal scales longer than a century. In this study, we analyzed major …

The interaction of similar soil forming factors with different parent materials determines soil
chemical weathering, influencing soil processes and properties. In the coastal temperate …

A paddy soil chronosequence consisting of five profiles derived from calcareous marine
sediments with cultivation history from 0 to 1000 yr was studied to assess the dynamic …

Coarse-over-fine vertical texture contrasts (VTC) are common in soils and weathering
profiles in a variety of environmental settings, including many where inheritance or surficial …

Many soils have two or more parent materials. It is not always possible to distinguish these
materials in a soil pit or in the field. Here we present a study in the Driftless Area of …
