DEFINITION OF FABRIC DISTRIBUTIONS TO CHARACTERIZE THE REARRANGEMENT OF SOIL PARTICLES IN THE TURBIC CRYOSOLS
Micromorphological study of Turbic Cryosols (permafrost soils) from the MacKenzie River Valley and Yukon Coastal Plain resulted in the observations of distinct unnamed fabric distributions that implied rearrangement of the skeleton grains and f-members. It was noted that the skeleton grains or f-mem...
