Modern soil system constraints on reconstructing deep-time atmospheric CO2

IP Montanez - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2013 - Elsevier
Paleosol carbonate-based estimates of paleo-atmospheric CO2 play a prominent role in

The colonization of drylands by early vascular plants: Evidence from Early Devonian fossil soils and in situ plant traces from South China

J Xue, J Wang, P Huang, L Liu, T Huang, L Zhang… - Earth-Science …, 2023 - Elsevier

Paleopedology as a tool for reconstructing paleoenvironments and paleoecology

EJ Beverly, WE Lukens, GE Stinchcomb - Methods in paleoecology …, 2018 - Springer
Soils form as a product of physical, chemical, and biological activity at the outermost veneer

[PDF][PDF] A data-driven spline model designed to predict paleoclimate using paleosol geochemistry

GE Stinchcomb, LC Nordt, SG Driese… - American Journal of …, 2016 - ajsonline.org
Paleosols (fossil soils) are abundant in the sedimentary record and reflect, at least in part,
regional paleoclimate. Paleopedology thus offers a great potential for elucidating high …
