Description :
This study attempts to quantify post- and pre-1960 soil erosion in a small cultivated basin near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, by measuring Cs 137 and magnetic susceptibility distribution with depth. The objective was to see if the differences in magnetic susceptibility between topsoil and subsoil, and between soils of different slope positions could be used to quantify soil redistribution in a cultivated field.
