Up to several meters thick fine-grained Holocene overbank deposits are ubiquitously found
in most Western and Central European lowland floodplains. However, despite their large …

The Holocene development of soils and sediments at three sites in the eastern Harz
foreland was investigated using field and laboratory methods and integrated into the …

Most studies on soil enzymes are focused on the upper horizons of the soil profile, even
though they transform the soil organic matter at every depth of the soil profile. The aim of this …

Eight soil profiles in Brodnica Lake District and Chełmno Lake District were described and
sampled. The profiles were divided into four pairs (study areas) dissimilar in lithology, relief …

This paper presents the results of 40years of research on the gully system in the Doły
Podmularskie catchment (0.35 km² in size), which is situated in the south-western part of the …

The extensive peat bogs of Southern Scandinavia have yielded rich Mesolithic
archaeological assemblages, with one of the most iconic artefacts being the bone point …

Aeolian sands are widespread in the E uropean sand‐belt. While there is a consensus
about the timing of increased aeolian activity and, in contrast, of surface stabilization during …

In the focus of this study are the sedimentary characteristics, chronology, magnitude, and
causes of past soil erosion dynamics of an agriculturally intensively used glacial lowland …

Purpose Loess landscapes are highly susceptible to soil erosion, which affects soil stability
and productivity. Erosion is non-linear in time and space and determines whether soils form …

Colluvisols represent a significant part of the erosional catena in undulating landscapes,
often changed by long-term agricultural management. The present study provides a detailed …
