| dc.description.abstract | <p> Several surface soil properties and topographical measures were studied at two hillslopes within the Crawford Lake Conservation Area. These measures were examined to establish any interrelationships to support the catena concept proposed by Milne (1935).</p> <p> The results of the study show that no similar patterns as found by Anderson and Furley (1975) and which include a decrease in organic matter and increase in pH, carbonate content, or, finer particles downslope could be found. Other factors which could be found within a three-dimensional soil landscape and may influence the soil processes along a catena should also be adopted. This may then describe all relationships that could affect soil development across a hillslope.</p> | en_US |
