AN INVESTIGATION OF WEATHERING IN SOME ARCTIC‐ALPINE SOILS ON THE NORTHEAST FLANK OF OKSSKOLTEN, NORTH NORWAY 1
Summary Morphological, particle size and mineralogical analyses of three soils indicate that the degree of weathering during pedogenesis has been of a low order. Textural characteristics and mineral content variations arc attributed largely to inheritance from the till parent material, rather than t...
