Pedogenic Gradients for Iron and Aluminum Accumulation and Phosphorus Depletion in Arctic and Alpine Soils as a Function of Time and Climate
Abstract Pedogenically significant chemical extracts of iron, aluminum, and phosphorus are related mainly to time in chronosequences from Baffin Island (Canadian Arctic), the alpine Sierra Nevada and Wind River Range (western United States), the alpine Khumbu Glacier area (Himalaya, Nepal), and the...
