Description :
This paper reviews the formation and longevity of pit and mound microtopography formed by tree uprooting, and examines the importance of this process to mass wasting and soil genesis. This paper focuses on the physical environment, concentrating on types and patterns of soil mixing and their impact on soil classification. Most examples are drawn from temperate forested environments.
