Interpretation of Micromorphological Features of Soils and
Regolith, 2nd edition, provides researchers and students with a
global tool for interpretation of micromorphological features of
regoliths and soils. After an introduction and general overview by
the editors, micromorphological aspects of regoliths (e.g.
saprolites, unconsolidated sediments, transported materials) are
highlighted, followed by a systematic and coherent discussion of
the micromorphological expression of various pedogenic processes.
This is done by discussing diagnostic horizons, materials and
processes. The following topics are also treated: freeze-thaw
features, redoximorphic features, calcareous and gypsiferous
formations, textural features, spodic and oxic horizons, andic and
volcanic materials, organic and surface horizons, laterites,
surface crusts, salts, biogenic and inorganic siliceous materials,
authigenic silicates, phosphates, thionic and derived materials,
and features related to faunal activity. The last chapters address
the impact of anthropic activities, with regard to archaeology and
palaeopedology. Interpretation of Micromorphological Features of
Soils and Regolith, 2nd edition, is written by a team of
well-known, global experts in the field who all used a single set
of concepts and terminology, making it a valuable interdisciplinary
reference.
