Soil formation is related to the nature of landforms on which that
formation takes place. The nature of the soil affects some of the
processes shaping the landforms and which cause landscape change.
An accurate assessment of the evolution of landforms and of the
patterns of soil formation is possible only if the interdependence
of soils and landforms is recognized. This book provides an
integration of geomorphology and pedology to fully assess this
relationship. After an opening chapter outlining the approach
adopted, specific chapters examine the relationships between soil
formation and specific suites of landform assemblages. The highly
influential catena concept is followed by an analysis of soil
within drainage basins, on erosion surfaces, flood plains, river
terraces, coastal plains, glacial and fluvioglacial landforms,
deserts and periglacial landforms. The concluding chapter addresses
the way in which soils can be used to assess major phases in
landscape evolution. Undergraduate students and lecturers in
geography or soil sciences will find this a valuable
interdisciplinary introduction to soil geomorphology.
