Description :
In the process of loessification, the development of loess fabric, the role of zonal, regional and partly of local environmental factors is regarded decisive. In the loess sequences various genetic types of loess pockets and paleosols occur and reflect different climatic and paleogeographical conditions. The A. emphasizes that the erosion gaps common in loess profiles exclude the reconstruction of some paleoclimatic events.
