Hydrobiotite formation in some Norwegian arctic-alpine soils developing in Neoglacial till
The clay mineralogy of two podzolised soil profiles, which have been developing for approximately 230 years in an arctic-alpine locality of southern Norway, has been examined using X-ray diffraction. Inheritance from the till parent material plays a major role in the origin of clay minerals in these...
