Hypothetical example of the application of soil morphology to correlation of stream terraces between valleys: Valley A has four terraces with better-developed soils on successively higher terraces, whereas Valleys B and C each have only three terraces. Soil morphology indicates that the first terrace of Valley A is missing in Valley B and the ...
Sep 1, 1990 · Abstract. Genesis of three distinct types of stream terraces can be understood through application of the concepts of tectonically induced downcutting, base level of erosion, complex response, threshold of critical power, diachronous and synchronous response times, and static and dynamic equilibrium. Climatic and tectonic stream terraces are ...

Feb 28, 2024 · A change from cobble to sand facies implies a reduction in stream discharge between ~128 ka and 50 ka. The development of certain soil properties in terrace deposits (i.e., iron oxides and clay) record a break in soil development around 50 ka, which is likely caused by the presence of reworked older, previously weathered material.
Jan 1, 2016 · In such a terrace chronosequence, the soils on the higher terraces typically will have more strongly developed profiles than the soils on the lower terraces because the higher terraces are older, and there was more time for pedogenesis (Figure 4) (e.g., Holliday, 2004: Table 7.2). As a corollary to this definition of a chronosequence, in an area where there are a number of soils and where the ...
The switch from a natural to agricultural phase thus increases soil heterogeneity, but also soil predictability, which can be used to predict the soil properties in large-field settings. One should be careful extrapolating soil-terrain relationships from agricultural areas to natural areas, as these correlations depend on land management and can give wrong results under different land cover.

Sep 16, 2019 · In fact, it may be possible that soil formation models developed from simulating weathering processes can eventually allow meaningful prediction of soil properties that can be used for predicting streamflow dynamics (Heidari et al., 2017; Lebedeva et al., 2010). With such efforts, the need to measure soil properties everywhere might be avoided.
