Soils comprise the largest terrestrial carbon (C) pool, containing both organic and inorganic
C. Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) was frequently disregarded because (1) it is partly heritage …

The accurate measurement of the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock in Australian grazing
lands is important due to the major role that SOC plays in soil productivity and the potential …

The following are discussed:(a) soil morphology,(b) soil classification,(c) weathering and soil
profile development,(d) factors of soil formation,(e) influence of parent materials,(f) influence …

Recent improvements in our understanding of the dynamics of soil carbon have shown that
20–40% of the approximately 1,500 Pg of C stored as organic matter in the upper meter of …

Soils, invaluable indicators of the nature and history of the physical and human landscape,
have strongly influenced the cultural record left to archaeologists. Not only are they primary …

This is the first book-length study of the archaeology of Australia's deserts, one of the world's
major habitats and the largest block of drylands in the southern hemisphere. Over the last …

The isotopic composition of soil CO2 has been investigated for the past three decades by
earth scientists in a variety of disciplines. Carbon dioxide is produced in soil through …

Soil carbonates (ie, soil inorganic carbon or SIC) represent more than a quarter of the
terrestrial carbon pool and are often considered to be relatively stable, with fluxes significant …

The vesicular, fine-grained A horizon (Av) is the widespread, ubiquitous surficial horizon of
desert soils in diverse landforms and parent materials of varying ages. Now known to form …

Reliable and precise ages of Quaternary pedogenic carbonate can be obtained with
230Th/U dating by thermal ionization mass spectrometry applied to carefully selected …
