“…Higher deposits, regardless of whether they are ascribed to the Flumen or Alcanadre rivers, show a certain degree of rubefaction and most gravels present typical carbonate coatings, indicating iron oxide segregation and carbonate washing processes. These diagnostic characteristics, already described and quantified by Badía et al (2015) in this zone, are absent in the deposits associated with the lower levels, whose gravels are mainly grey. The development of petrocalcic horizons in the high levels (Badía et al, 2015), including T5, favoured the preservation of these features.…”

“…The Quaternary deposits in the zone principally comprise stepped sequences of fluvial terraces and associated pediments descending from the surrounding relief. These were previously identified and mapped by several authors (Mensua and Ibáñez, 1977;Bomer, 1979;Alberto et al, 1984;Calle et al, 2013;Badía et al, 2015;Montes et al, 2016).…”

Origin and evolution of Sariñena Lake (central Ebro Basin): A piping-based model

The origin and nature of the numerous lakes in the central Ebro Basin have been interpreted according to the prevailing arid or semiarid conditions, the easily-eroded materials and the solubility of the gypsum-and/or carbonate-rich Tertiary/Cenozoic substratum, involving important dissolution (karstic) and/or aeolian deflation. However, the origin of Sariñena Lake, the largest in the central Ebro Basin, remains unknown since the typical lake-generating processes in the region are not applicable. This work provides significant clues to the genesis and evolution of Sariñena Lake in a regional context. The combination of geomorphological mapping and high resolution LiDAR

“…Precipitation and the farming system of the study areas caused this difference, as precipitation (and resulting soil wetness) and vegetation type were the two main factors that affected the rate of carbonate weathering and the depth of leaching in carbonate-rich soils [44]. To the contrary, CaCO 3 accumulation is the most characteristic age-related pedofeature in the semiarid regions where precipitation is insufficient [51]. The content of CaCO 3 can be seen as an intrinsic threshold [52] because the changes in CaCO 3 may be responsible for many successive processes.…”

The soil chronosequence is a useful method for investigating pedological theories. Soil chemical, physical and mineralogical properties in chronosequences change over time and exhibit systematic and time-dependent trends, which can be used to analyze the rates and directions of pedogenic changes. The potential of soil spectroscopy as an emerging, rapid and cost-effective technique for predicting soil properties has been widely accepted and has motivated the application of spectroscopic techniques to the analysis of soil chronosequence. We present a soil chronosequence derived from 1000-year-old calcareous marine sediments and examine changes in six soil properties over this period. We evaluated the utility of a soil spectroscopic method to detect soil property changes and to predict the pedogenic properties and soil ages of the chronosequence. The results show that some soil pedogenic processes, such as soil organic matter accumulation, CaCO3 leaching and clay migration, can be identified in the millennium chronosequence. Power chronofunctions are formulated for soil organic matter (SOM) and Logarithmic chronofunctions are fitted for clay, CaCO3 and pH. These pedogenic processes are identified in the reflectance intensity and absorption features of soil spectroscopy, and pedogenic properties can be calibrated via soil reflectance spectroscopy. Profile ages can also be predicted via pseudo multi-depth spectra of soil profiles, and soil spectral curves for 0–30 cm generated the best prediction results (RPD = 1.85). We conclude that soil properties, changing due to weathering and soil formation, act as a bridge linking spectroscopy and weathering levels/pedogenic processes. The results imply that applying spectroscopy techniques to chronosequence study and mapping the degree of soil development in certain areas should be possible.

“…Their results indicated that there was no signicant threat from As and most other trace elements, but that there was a potential environmental risk from Pb and V due to their signicant enrichment in soils. Portable XRF instrumentation was used by Badia et al 172 to determine total CaCO 3 in quaternary soils on the terraces of the River Alcanadre in the semi-arid Ebro Basin, Northeast Spain. 169 These authors described a chemometrics procedure based on EDXRF measurements as a 'point of care' sensor that inferred soil properties and intelligently modulated precision agriculture.…”
