Abstract:During weathering and pedogenesis of carbonate rock with poor-Uranium (U) and Thorium (Th), U and Th present the characteristics of strong leaching (especially U) and signi cant residual enrichment, the cause of which is still unclear. A weathering pro le developed by dolomite in karst area of Guizhou province in southwest China was selected, which showed zonation characteristics of bedrock (Y), rock powder (Yf) and soil layer (T1 to T12) from the bottom to up. Through the determination of the occurrence speci… Show more
