In present-day alluvial environments, the impact of vegetation on sedimentological
processes and deposits is well known. A vegetated catchment may decrease sediment yield …

Pervasive mottling, iron-oxide nodules, and slickensides indicate that alluvial paleosols of
the lower Eocene Willwood Formation in the Elk Creek area of the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming …

Vertic features result from shrink-swell processes, vertical mixing and lateral shearing, in
swelling clay materials under alternating wet and dry conditions. They are recognised in …

A theoretical model is developed for the relationship between paleoclimate and paleosols
for the time interval following the widespread appearance of vascular land plants. The model …

The Palaeozoic greening of the continents–the appearance and expansion of embryophytes
(land plants) in terrestrial environments–was arguably the most fundamental Phanerozoic …

Abstract Holocene Mississippi River flood-plain soils in central Louisiana provide important
insights on alluvial pedogenesis in an aggradational setting, insights that are useful for …

The paleoecology of plants as a modern discipline, distinct from traditional floristics or
biostratigraphy, has undergone an enormous expansion in the past 20 years. In addition to …

Soils form as a product of physical, chemical, and biological activity at the outermost veneer
of Earth's surface. Once buried and incorporated into the sedimentary record, these soils …

A suite of Vertisols (clay-rich soils with high shrink-swell potential) were examined across a
climosequence (climatic transect) in twelve soil pits from the Coast Prairie of Texas in order …

Paleosols with vertic (Vertisol-like) features occur in repetitively stacked fining-upward
sequences bounded by marine erosional surfaces in the Bloomsburg Formation (Ludlovian …
