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.

“…Table 2. Regression equations for different particle-size classification Our results contrast with Bockheim (1980) and Merritts et al (1991) who found that logarithmic functions could adequately describe the relationship between clay and soil age, and Barrett (2001) who reported that changing silt content with time could be best fitted by linear models. The difference may be attributed to appearance of a humus horizon (Ah) which had greeter contents of clay and silt, and less sand than Ap and AB horizons ( Figure 3).…”

“…Exchangeable Ca and Mg decrease with time and base saturation decreases exponentially from 24.6% in the Ah horizon of the youngest profile to 2.8% in the comparable horizon of the 10,000 year old profile according to a exponential function. A soil chronosequence in the northern shore of Lake Michigan, USA was investigated (Barrett, 2001). The results indicated that for most forms of extractable Fe and Al, both linear and log-linear functions adequately describe the changes in property with surface age.…”

SUMMARYSoil chronofunctions are an alternative for the quantification of soil-forming processes and underlie the modeling of soil genesis. To establish soil chronofunctions of a Heilu soil profile on Loess in Luochuan, selected soil properties and the 14 C ages in the Holocene were studied. Linear, logarithmic, and thirdorder polynomial functions were selected to fit the relationships between soil properties and ages. The results indicated that third-order polynomial function fit best for the relationships between clay (< 0.002 mm), silt (0.002-0.02 mm), sand (0.02-2 mm) and soil ages, and a trend of an Ah horizon ocurrence in the profile. The logarithmic function indicated mainly variations of soil organic carbon and pH with time (soil age). The variation in CaCO 3 content, Mn/Zr, Fe/Zr, K/Zr, Mg/Zr, Ca/Zr, P/Zr, and Na/Zr ratios with soil age were best described by three-order polynomial functions, in which the trend line showed migration of CaCO 3 and some elements. Index terms:14 C age, soil properties, element migration, soil development.(
