Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During 1966 pedologic studies were conducted in Inglefield Land, Northwest Greenland (c. 78 deg 31'N., 70 deg 55'W). Climate is typical of the high arctic with the July temperature approximating 40 deg F and the annual precipitation approximating 2 to 6 inches of water. The area has a desert appearance with most of the landscape free of vascular plants. The area has a desert appearance with most of the landscape free of vascular plants. Narrow swales and meadows, however, tend to be wet and covered with a continuous vegetative mat. The Archean basement complex is capped with Paleozoic rocks consisting of conglomerate, sandstone, shale, dolomite, and limestone, together with a few intrusions of diabase. In the study area there is evidence of 3 glacial stages with the earliest ice probably reaching Rensselaer Bay and beyond. A buried organic layer in a glacio-fluvial terrace yielded a C-14 date of 20,800 yr. B.P. Six genetic soils or soil conditions are recognized: (1) Polar Desert soils, (2) Arctic Brown soils, (3) Tundra soils, (4) Soils of the hummocky ground, (5) Soils of the Polar Desert-Tundra interjacence, and (6) Bedrock and Boulder Fields. Mechanical, mineralogical, and chemical analyses of the soils including micromorphology are given. (Author).

It acts as an anchor for roots, a purveyor of water and nutrients, a residence for a vast community of microorganisms and animals, a sanitizer of the environment, and a source of raw materials for co
Download or read book Weathering Soils Paleosols written by I.P. Martini and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the past 200 years, geological scientists have used the present as a key to unlocking the past. This volume continues the tradition by exploring the processes of weathering and soil formation as indicators of the present environment of the Earth's land surface. Examined are the various ways in which this information can be used to interpret past environments which have produced the soils now preserved as paleosols. Because the surface environment of the earth may now be undergoing rapid change (the greenhouse effect), the book is a timely one for those researchers looking for evidence of analogous changes in the Earth's past. The work is divided into three major sections. The first deals with fundamental considerations of weathering, clay mineralogy and diagenesis. The second deals with the formation of soils from various starting materials and in various surficial environments. And the final section is an interpretation of paleosols. This volume provides valuable reading material for graduate and senior-undergraduate courses.
