Chaotic evolution of some coastal plain soils
Auteur :PHILLIPS, J.D.
Description :
Nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) models of soil systems suggest that soil evolution may be potentially chaotic, and thus sensitive to initial conditions and to small pertubations. Chaos implies that the diversity of the soil cover should increase over time. This hypothesis was tested by comparing the diversity of soil types on either side of the Suffolk Scarp on the lower coastal plain of North Carolina.
