Description :
The AA. use micromorphological, physical, chemical, and mineralogical analyses to determine the polygenetic nature of soils on the Gangetic Plains. Micromorphology helps to distinguish pedogenic and nonpedogenic features, older and younger clay pedofeatures, the extent of degradation of pedofeatures in subsequent periods, and the effects of weathering and neoformation.
