“…In general, the amount of available leaching water is greatest in udic and least in aridic. Xeric-coastal soils are separated from xeric-inland because of the possible influence of sodium on the rate of soil development (Clayton, 1972;Yaalon and Lomas, 1970;Hingston and Gailitis, 1976).…”

A Quantitative Comparison of Soil Development in Four Climatic Regimes

A new quantitative Soil Development Index based on field data has been applied to chronosequences formed under different climatic regimes. The four soil chronosequences, developed primarily on sandy deposits, have some numeric age control and are located in xeric-inland (Merced, Calif.), xeric-coastal (Ventura, Calif.), aridic (Las Cruces, N. Mex.), and udic (Susquehanna Valley, Pa.) soil-moisture regimes. To quantify field properties, points are assigned for developmental increases in soil properties in comparison to the parent material. Currently ten soil-field properties are quantified and normalized for each horizon in a given chronosequence, including two new properties for carbonate-rich soils in addition to the eight properties previously defined. When individual properties or the combined indexes are plotted as a function of numeric age, rates of soil development can be compared in different climates. The results demonstrate that (1) the Soil Development Index can be applied to very different soil types, (2) many field properties develop systematically in different climatic regimes, (3) certain properties appear to have similar rates of development in different climates, and (4) the Profile Index that combines different field properties increases significantly with age and appears to develop at similar rates in different climates. The Soil Development Index can serve as a preliminary guide to soil age where other age control is lacking and can be used to correlate deposits of different geographical and climatic regions.

“…The second operated on a smaller scale by determining the relationship between COg exchange and thallus [Na"*^] for samples taken from particular trees within a single coastal and a single inland site. This approach was chosen because salt deposition on coastal vegetation not only increases exponentially toward the shoreline, but also varies on a small scale depending on local topography and shelter (Edwards & Claxton, 1964;Randall, 1970;Yaalon & Lomas, 1970). The third experiment involved manipulation of thallus Na+ concentrations.…”

SALT LOADING DOES NOT CONTROL CO₂ EXCHANGE IN RAMALINA MENZIESII TAYL.

SUMMARYThe effect of intrathallus salt content (measured as [Na"^]) on photosynthetic and dark respiratory rates in the coastal lichen Ramalina menziesii Tayl. was investigated in three independent experiments. The first experiment demonstrated no relationship between rates of COg exchange in samples from a given site and distance inland, even though samples from inland sites had consistently lower salt concentrations. The second experiment showed that gas exchange rates and salt concentrations were not correlated when individual trees within one coastal and one inland site were compared. In the third experiment, thallus [Na"^] was directly modified, but rates of CO2 exchange remained the same over a 27 d period. These results imply that the large variability in photosynthetic rates that is present in R. menziesii must be due to factors other than salinity.

“…Salt deposition can vary at a given site by more than two orders of magnitude with changes in wind speed and direction (Martin 1959). Deposition decreases rapidly with distance from the ocean (Yaalon & Lomas 1976). Plant species can be grouped into different classes of tolerance to salt spray (e.g.…”

Abstract. Due to the complexity of coastal barrier vegetation, it is useful to apply a functional‐type approach to assess the response of barrier island vegetation to climate change. In this paper, a simple clustering analysis is applied to a group of 19 plant associations, based on six plant attributes and six environmental constraints. This analysis results in the suggestion that the main division of the vegetation types at Virginia Coast Reserve is between herbaceous and woody types, which differs from the existing classification which recognizes three groups: xeric‐mesic herbaceous, woody and hydric‐halophytic herbaceous. Considerations about grouping plant functional types are also addressed in this paper. At a global scale, inclusion of barrier plant functional types may not be so important for the climate‐change response of vegetation, but it may be necessary to consider these important systems for spatially explicit modelling of landscape responses.
