Clay Illuviation in a Holocene Palaeosol -Sequence in the Chinese Loess Plateau
The loess-palaeosol sequence on the Loess Plateau of China has been subjected to sophistic genetic processes such as dust accumulation, soil erosion, deposition and soil formation. These processes should be carefully distinguished when we clarify the soil
