Calcretes (synonym: caliches) represent calcium-carbonate accumulations in a variety of
soils (and palaeosols) by pedogenic processes, as well as in surficial sediments in which …

The literature dealing with secondary carbonates in loess-paleosoil sequences is in many
cases ambiguous, which means that different concepts are used for the same features …

Soils are the product of the activities of plants, which supply organic matter and play a
pivotal role in weathering rocks and minerals. Many plant species have a distinct ecological …

The precipitation of calcium carbonate is widespread in soils and regoliths and common
under different environmental settings, especially in soils of arid environments. This topic is …

Calcrete is a general term given to the near-surface, terrestrial accumulation of
predominantly calcium carbonate, which occurs in a variety of forms from powdery to …

The paper aims to present the geology of the western part of the Classical Karst (NW
Dinarides), located at the border between Slovenia and Italy. The work is based on archive …

Hydrocarbon recovery in clastic reservoirs depends essentially on how well we understand
the precise architecture of sand bodies and intercalated shaly baffles and barriers. Various …

Loess–paleosol sequences are important terrestrial archives for studying Quaternary climate
changes. They often contain secondary carbonates including eg rhizoliths (calcified roots) …

Many lakes exist in southeastern Badain Jaran Desert and its hinterland, including 110
perennial lakes and some seasonal or extinct lakes. Geomorphological, sedimentological …

Microcodium has been previously described as a mainly Cenozoic calcification pattern
ascribed to various organisms. A review of the available literature and our data reveal two …
