The Evolution of the Profile Paradigm in the History of Pedology and Quaternary Geology: Concepts and Applications
… and bedrock is designated as the C, whether pedogenically modified or not. In the PWP, the C horizon is limited to the part of the traditional C that is pedogenically altered. That part of the subsolum unaltered by pedogenic processes and not having the hardness of bedrock (R) is redefined …

Assessing Pleistocene climate on the Southern High Plains through geochemical and physical characteristics of paleosols archived in the Blackwater Draw Formation
… weathering profiles that indicate specific pedogenic processes such as hydrolysis, salinization, and leaching. These pedogenic processes are interpreted through analysis of select ratios and trends of relatively reactive elements versus immobile elements. Degree of pedogenesis is then …

Late Mississippian (Chesterian) high-frequency climate change in the Pennington Formation at Pound Gap, KY USA.
… mm/yr. Variations in MAP and quantified soil processes correspond with variation s in soil drainage, resulting from high-frequency paleoclimate change. The temporal distribution of trace elements in paleosols is also related to soil-forming processes and climate. The trace element chemistry …

Reconstruction of environmental and climate dynamics using multi-proxy evidence from palaeosols of the Western Cape, South Africa
… and may provide useful validation of pedogenic and other earth system process models. However, the characterisation and analysis of palaeosols has been a largely neglected source of information in the Western Cape, South Africa. This thesis aims to improve the understanding of the …

Testing alternative stable state theory at Afromontane and Milkwood forest-fynbos ecotones
… matrix (ca. 1: 1.6), indicating differences in pedogenic processes in the forest compared to the surrounding fynbos. Forest soils had higher soil nutrient content (N, P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, and loss-on-ignition) than fynbos soils. The edaphic nutrient differences across ecotones were not due to …
