Abstract:
Mass magnetic susceptibility (x) was measured on samples taken from horizons from 27 northern California soils to determine the amount and vertical distribution of x, and if the observed x distribution could be related to parent material, climate, topography and time. In most of the soils with vertical morphological distinctions, eluvial horizon x was greater than illuvial, R or CR x. This susceptibility enhancement was interpreted as being due to pedogenic processes. -from Authors
