Description :
Profiles with multiple paleosols developed in loess at Kapela-Batajnica and Stalać were studied by chemical, physical and mineralogical methods to determine paleoclimatic changes through the Pleistocene. The cyclic nature of sedimentary and pedogenetic processes is indicated by the CaCO3 content and silt and clay mineralogy. These 2 profiles provide an opportunity to compare the paleoclimatic history of 2 areas, one (Kapela-Batajnica) with an essentially continental influence similar to that of other central European loess-paleosol sites, and the other (Stalać) with a stronger Mediterranean influence.
