The accumulation of eolian dust plays an important role in the development of alpine soils on the northern Tibetan Plateau. However, little is known either about the nature of soil-forming processes in the region, or about the magnitude of soil organic and inorganic carbon (SOC and SIC) storage. Here we report the results of an investigation of a typical profile, consisting of a series of buried soils...
The Tibetan Plateau has one of the largest distributions of alpine meadow in the world. Due to the cold climate and dominance of physical weathering conditions, coarse or massive debris prevails. Thus, pedogenesis is controlled by both the temperature and parent material. In this study, the alpine soils (Gelic Cambisol) at altitudes of 4768–4980m in the Amdo zone of the northern Tibetan Plateau were...
Grain-size and geochemical characteristics of 18 Quaternary Red Clay (QRC) profiles mainly located in the lower and middle reaches of the Yangtze River in subtropical China were studied. The results showed that all the QRC profiles can be classified into three types: Type A, mainly distributed between 29°N and 31°N, share the similar characteristics with the Xiashu Loess, with the uniformity of grain-size...
