Weathering of primary silicates to secondary clay minerals over time affects multiple soil
functions such as the accumulation of organic matter and nutrient cations. However, the …

Fine-grained sedimentary successions contain the most detailed record of past
environmental conditions. High-resolution analyses of these successions yield important …

The Late Jurassic was a time of increasing aridity in NW Europe. Here, a new clay mineral
dataset is presented from a 600 m thick composite core through the Kimmeridge Clay …

The low hilly topography of G reen I sland, a volcanic island off southeastern T aiwan,
includes an altitudinal sequence of sub‐horizontal benches. We examined eight profiles …

In the polar regions emphasis has been placed on the prevalence of physical versus
chemical weathering, and in Antarctica the results of a study of Kelly and Zumberge (1961) …

Regional differences in clay mineralogy are found in British Lower Palaeozoic slate belts
formed during Caledonian terrane amalgamation. Extensional basins in Wales, the northern …

Clay mineral assemblages for the last 10 my are described for Site 823, at 16 S in the
Queensland Trough, to the northeast of Australia. Largely unaffected by diagenetic …

The famous Terra Rossa soil in the Coonawarra area, South Australia, is dominated by
locally derived aeolian detritus, which probably accumulated over the last 120–130 ka. Four …

The distribution of clay mineral constituents of clay-size particles (< 2 µm) from weathered
and unweathered clayey subsoils of Weichselian age were studied at 8 sites within the …

Ferricrete–sediment cemented by iron oxides and hydroxides–is common in subaerial
weathering environments around the world. Formed under alternating oxidising and …
