  1. Nature and distribution of South African plinthic soils: Conditions for occurrence of soft and hard plinthic soils

    Nature and distribution of South African plinthic soils: Conditions for occurrence of soft and hard plinthic soils

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: P. A.L. le Roux --- Department of Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, Republic of South Africa C.C. du Preez --- Department of Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, Republic of South Africa
    The relevance of using redox morphology and irreversible hardened material to classify soft and hard plinthic soil forms is often questioned as the paleoclimate of South Africa varied significantly. Since the origin of the Soil Classification System of South Africa...

  2. Micromorphological evidence of redox activity in the soft plinthic B horizon of a soil of the Bainsvlei form in an arid bioclimate

    Micromorphological evidence of redox activity in the soft plinthic B horizon of a soil of the Bainsvlei form in an arid bioclimate

    Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: P.A.L. le Roux --- Department of Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, Republic of South Africa C.C. du Preez --- Department of Soil, Crop and Climate Sciences, Republic of South Africa
    In South Africa, the pedogenic relevance of soft plinthic B horizons in the border zone between arid and semi-arid bioclimates is often questioned because the prevailing climate is not conducive for fluctuating water tables as required for their formation. These...
