High-mountain soils develop in particularly sensitive environments. Consequently,
deciphering and predicting what drives the rates of soil formation in such environments are a …

Soils with mountain permafrost occupy 3.5 million km2 worldwide, with 70% in central Asia.
High-mountain environments have “warm” permafrost, with surface permafrost temperatures …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

Purpose Natural rates of soil production or a target soil thickness that allows unrestricted
land use can serve as a basis for defining tolerable soil erosion rates. Guidelines for …

Continental weathering plays a crucial role in the evolution of the Earth's surface by linking
Earth's spheres, sha** landscapes and regulating chemical cycles and global climate …

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

Soil organic matter (SOM) is sensitive to land use and to physico-chemical soil properties as
well soil microbial communities controlling SOM stabilization. Our study aimed at exploring …

The Galápagos archipelago, a chain of islands formed by hotspot-induced volcanism on the
Nazca tectonic plate, exhibits pronounced gradients of rock age and climate. Here, we …

Red loam hills with granitic parent material are susceptible to gully erosion under
continuous runoff. Laterite soils from granitic parent material in South China are …

Increasing numbers of 'young'soil chronosequences have become exposed in global alpine
areas as glaciers have retreated due to climate warming since the Industrial Revolution …
