The role of land use on fate of metals in soils is poorly understood. In this work, we studied the incorporation of lead in two neighboring soils with comparable pedogenesis but under long-term different agricultural management. Distributions of anthropogenic Pb were assessed from concentrations and isotopic compositions determined on bulk horizon samples, systematical 5-10 cm increment samples...

Complex sequences of paleosols are often formed by the interaction between pedogenesis and geomorphological evolution. Their study, particularly in mountain areas, is useful to reconstruct past environmental conditions as well climate shifts, gather information on morphodynamical processes affecting landscape through time. Since combined role that all different factors can play soil formation e...

The North Yellow Sea, located at the intersection of Eurasian continent and Pacific Ocean mid-latitudes, is a sensitive area subjected to joint actions ocean, land, monsoons. On its southern shore, loess paleosol sedimentary sequences were widely developed during last interglacial period, which great significance for revealing patterns climate change dynamic conditions. In this paper, we focus ...
