Paleoenvironmental reconstructions on a (supra-) regional scale have gained attention in
Quaternary sciences during the last decades. In terrestrial realms, loess deposits and …

In September 2016, the annual meeting of the International Union for Quaternary Research's
Loess and Pedostratigraphy Focus Group, traditionally referred to as a LoessFest, met in …

Archaeological sites are not distributed evenly throughout the landscape. For the
Palaeolithic record, signals derived from the inhomogeneous spatial patterns are used to …

Satellite-based soil organic carbon content (SOC) mapping over wide regions is generally
hampered by the low soil sampling density and the diversity of soil sampling periods. Some …

Due to cost constraints, field texture classes estimated by hand-feel by soil surveyors are
more abundant than laboratory measurements of particle-size distribution. Thus, there is a …

Plant available water capacity (AWC) refers to the maximum amount of water that a soil can
store and provide to plant roots. Spatial predictions of AWC through digital soil mapping at …

Uncertainties about landscape evolution under cold, nonglacial conditions raise a question
fundamental to periglacial geomorphology: what and where are periglacial landscapes? To …

Soil thickness (ST) plays an important role in regulating soil processes, vegetation growth
and land suitability. Therefore, it has been listed as one of twelve basic soil properties to be …

European aeolian deposits have been mapped using the LUCAS topsoil texture database
and the location, thickness and grain size mode of loess sections described in the literature …

There is currently a renewed interest in loess genesis and occurrence in Italy. Well-known
loess profiles in northern Italy have been re-examined, and previously unknown loess …
