“…When maximal concentrations of extractable iron and aluminium in the pedons (often found in the spodic horizons) are used instead of stocks, the results from this study can be compared with other studies. The maximal extractable iron and aluminium concentrations from this study are comparable with very young (B550 yr), but well-developed Podzols in British Columbia (Singleton and Lavkulich 1987) and younger (B2000 yr) Finnish Spodosols. However, the maximal concentrations of extractable iron and aluminium are two to three times higher in the older parts (8300Á11300 yr old) of the same Finnish chronosequence (Mokma et al 2004) and up to five times higher in weathered Swiss Podzols (Egli et al 2004).…”

“…The average accumulation rate of C in the B horizon is 0.4 g C m (2 yr (1 (R 2 00.06, P 00.60). Stone et al (1993) reported Bh horizon C stocks of 9.290.6 kg C m (2 from Spodosols in humid subtropical Florida, while Gaudinski et al (2000) reported a Bw horizon stock of 1.2 kg C m (2 from an Inceptisol in humid temperate Massachusetts.…”

“…Grigal and Ohmann (1992) reported mean mineral soil C stocks (0Á100 cm) in the US Great Lakes region of 10.6 kg C m Á2 , while Franzmeier et al (1985) found an average mineral soil C stock (0Á100 cm) in the north-central USA of 11.7 kg C m (2 . Stone et al (1993) found a mean mineral soil C stock (0Á100 cm) for subtropical Spodosols in Florida of 10.490.8 kg C m (2 . Allocation of the mineral soil C stock into individual horizon indicates that the A horizons have the largest contribution (6.691.3 kg C m (2 ) corresponding to 509 6% of the mineral soil C stock (0Á100 cm) (Figs.…”

“…A very humid chronosequence in British Columbia contained 350-yr-old podzols (Singleton and Lavkulich 1987), while Spodosols on lake terraces in Michigan, USA, formed in 6000Á11000 yr (Barrett and Schaetzl 1993). Incipient podzolic horizon development has been explored by many studies, and in most forested udic or humid frigid soil temperature regimes, visible eluvial horizons have been found within 150 yr in coastal Alaska (Bormann et al 1995), around 100 yr in Danish pine plantations (Stu¨tzer 1998) or 40 yr in a Michigan pine forest (Bronick and Mokma 2005).…”

M. 2010. Soil development rates from an optically stimulated luminescence-dated beach ridge sequence in Northern Jutland, Denmark. Can. J. Soil Sci. 90: 295Á307. Rates of podzolic soil development in sandy, temperate soils were quantified based on 14 soil pedons with five substrata from a beach ridge chronosequence near Jerup, Northern Denmark (578N). Soil pH, organic carbon (C) as well as extractable iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) were measured. The age of each pedon and soil stratum was measured by optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating and used to estimate soil development rates. Soils were divided into five groups from Typic Haplorthods and Entic Alorthods with a mean OSL age of 29659294 yr to Typic Quartzipsamments with a mean OSL age of 22911 yr. Acidification rates during the first 200 yr were Â1.9 pH units per 100 yr in the A horizons and C-sequestration rates wereÂ25 g C m (2 yr(1 (excluding litter accumulation). After Â1500 yr, the mineral soil C stocks stabilised around 13.092.0 kg C m (2 . Translocation rates of Al into B horizons were Â0.3 kg Al m (2 per 1000 yr, while translocation rates for Fe were scattered. Our study illustrates the potential of OSL dating in chronosequence studies to quantify soil development rates.Key words: Soil development rates, chronosequence, OSL-dating, C-sequestration rates and translocation rates Nielsen, A.

Soil Sci. 90: 295Á307. Les auteurs ont quantifie´le taux de de´veloppement des podzols dans un sol tempe´re´sablonneux a`partir de 14 pe´dons incluant 5 sousstrates issues d'une chronose´quence pre`s de Jerup, dans le nord du Danemark (578N).

L'aˆge de chaque pe´don et strate a e´te´e´tabli par luminescence stimule´e optiquement (LSO) ce qui a permis d'estimer le taux de de´veloppement du sol. Les sols ont e´te´re´partis en cinq groupes, de l'haplorthod typique a`l'alorthod entique, dont la LSO moyenne est de 2 9659294 ans, aux quartzipsamments typiques, dont la LSO moyenne se chiffre a`22911 ans. Le taux d'acidification au cours des 200 premie`res anne´es e´tait deÂ1,9 unite´pH par sie`cle pour les horizons A, tandis que le taux de se´questration du C s'e´tablissait a`Â25 g par m 2 et par anne´e (sans la couverture de´tritique). Apre`s Â1500 ans, la re´serve de C du sol se stabilise autour de 13,092,0 kg par m 2 . La translocation de l'Al dans les horizons B se situe a`Â0,3 kg par m 2 par 1 000 ans alors que celle du Fe varie. L'e´tude re´ve`le le potentiel de la me´thode de datation par LSO dans l'e´tude des chronose´quences pour mesurer le taux de de´veloppement du sol.

“…in terms of particle-size distribution), even small differences in the soil porosity may affect capillary water movement and solute precipitation at the lithological discontinuity (Stützer, 1998). In the longer perspective, the translocation of organometallic complexes may arise and create Bh(s) horizon at the lithological discontinuity (Singleton and Lavkulish, 1987;Waroszewski et al, 2013). The other case of a substrate discontinuity reflected in soil structure and permeability is this resulting from the post-sedimentary transformation, e.g.…”

The coastal areas of SE Norway provide suitable conditions for studying soil development with time, because unweathered land surfaces have continuously been raised above sea level by glacio‐isostatic uplift since the termination of the last ice age. We investigated Podzol development in a chronosequence of six soils on sandy beach deposits with ages ranging from 2,300 to 9,650 y at the W coast of the Oslofjord. The climate in this area is rather mild with a mean annual temperature of 6°C and an annual precipitation of 975 mm (Sandefjord). The youngest soil showed no evidence of podzolization, while slight lightening of the A horizon of the second soil (3,800 years) indicated initial leaching of organic matter (OM). In the 4,300 y–old soil also Fe and humus accumulation in the B horizon were perceptible, but only the 6,600 y–old and older soils exhibited spodic horizons. Accumulation of OM in the A horizons reached a steady state in <2,300 y, while in the B horizons OM accumulated at increasing rates. pH dropped from 6.6 (H2O)/5.9 (KCl) in the recent beach sand to 4.5 (H2O)/3.8 (KCl) within approx. 4,500 y (pHH2O)/2,500 y (pHKCl) and stayed constant thereafter, which was attributed to sesquioxide buffering. Base saturation showed an exponential decrease with time. Progressive weathering was reflected by increasing Fed and Ald contents, and proceeding podzolization by increasing amounts of pyrophophate‐ and oxalate‐soluble Fe and Al with soil age. These increases could be best described for most Fe and Al fractions by exponential models. Only the increasing amounts of Fep could be better described by a power function and those of Feo by a linear model.
