Fluvial systems of the Kalahari. A review in Arid and semi-arid environments. Geomorphological and pedological aspects.
Three distinct fluvial systems are apparent in the northern and eastern parts of Botswana, and in the adjacent northern Cape Province. This paper summarizes the characteristics of these fluvial systems, and accounts for their evolution within
The microaggregation and erodibility of some semi-arid and mediterranean soils in Arid and semi-arid environments. Geomorphological and pedological aspects.
The size distributions of water-stable silt and clay fractions are examined for soils from three locations in Spain (Dehesas Granada, Alicante Province, Gerona Province) and considered with respect to soil erodibility, soil aggregation
The pedological regionalization of the Subcarpathian depression Cracaˇu-Bistriţa
Using a taxonomy based of the pedological and geographical reality, this paper is a synthesis of the previous research of the A., seeing the soil both as a productive and a geographical component of the landscape. - (E. Rusu).
In the Oudalan Province of Sahelian Northern Burkina Faso soil investigations have been carried out in order to evaluate the sustainability of millet production with emphasis on the dynamics of soil fertility. Some results of pedological
New data on the stratigraphy and pedology of the Clovis and Plainview sites, southern High Plains
The well known Clovis and Plainview paleo-indian sites of New Mexico and Texas have yielded new data on regional late Quaternary geologic, paleoclimatic, and pedologic histories.
Polish pedological studies on Spitsbergen. A review
A review of Polish pedological studies carried out on Spitsbergen since 1957. The first part deals with the important papers going through the sections of soil science. Special attention was focused on arctic soil forming processes, physical
properties (changes in soil volume, soil movements, thermal features), chemical properties and soil biology. Another part gives the lines for future pedological studies.
Accounting for extensive topographic and pedologic secondary information to improve soil mapping
The aim of this paper was to find the method that best improves the estimation of primary attributes through dense secondary information for the study area, the province of Siena in central Italy. Soil samples were taken at 742 locations and depth
Palaeoenvironmental interpretation of geomorphological and pedological studies in the rain forest core-areas of Eastern Zaire (Central Africa)
Geomorphological studies on the Late Quaternary landscape evolution in areas of eastern Zaire indicated by pedological, sedimentological, and geochemical evidence that the recent rain forest of the region within the glacial core-areas was strongly
Climatic and non-climatic controls of aridity : the case of the northern Negev of Israel in Arid and semi-arid environments. Geomorphological and pedological aspects.
Influence of eolian sedimentation on soil formation in Egypt and Canary Island deserts in Arid and semi-arid environments. Geomorphological and pedological aspects.
The aim of this study is to produce a comparative basic pedological concept of the soils of the region in a catenary sequence. The catena studied is typical for the Mediterranean coastal areas covering surfaces, geomorphic units, formed
by neotectonic activity and the following processes related to pedology.
Simulation of soil types in Teramo province (Central Italy) with terrain parameters and remote sensing data
, auxiliary information from a Digital Terrain Model and Landsat images, were compared with the soil subsystem map 1:250,000, realized by ARSSA. The comparison indicated that the simulated distribution of the soil classes is consistent with the pedological map
Turf-bearing topsoils on the central Tibetan Plateau, China : pedology, botany, geochronology
mats around Nagqu, 4 profiles were subjected to pedological, paleobotanical and geochronological analyses concentrating on soil properties, phytogenic composition and dating of the turf. The results show that the turfs result from the transformation
Standortkundliche Typisierung des Graslandes in der DDR auf der Grundlage der Mittelmassstäbigen Landwirtschaftlichen Standortkartierung. (Pedological description of GDR grassland types on the basis of medium-scale agricultural mapping)
pedological grassland types have been classified in subgroups and described according to parameters for land unit regional types and the area covered. Decisive aspects are almost equal and stable site characteristics, such as soil conditions, essential water
The purposes of this study are to : 1) examine the macromorphology and micromorphology of surface accumulations of salts in the Salt Basin; 2) describe the pedological, chemical, and biological features associated with surface accumulations of salt
; 3) interpret the origin of salts crusts, salt flats, and saline wetlands using modern scientific data and historical accounts; and 4) compare pedological features of the Salt Basin with other soils in the surrounding area and with similar surface
The objectives of this paper are : 1) to summarize data for major soils, in particular the well-drained or zonal soils| 2) to examine soil-forming processes along a bioclimatic gradient| 3) to refine Tedrow's (1977) pedologic zones| and 4
) to compare pedologic zones of the Southern Circumpolar Region with those in the Northern Circumpolar Region.
