Abstract:Topography is a critical factor that determines the characteristics of regional soil formation. Small-scale topographic changes are referred to microtopographies. In hilly mountainous regions, the redistribution of water and soil materials caused by microtopography is the main factor affecting the spatial heterogeneity of soil and the utilization of land resources. In this study, the influence of microtopography on pedogenesis was investigated using soil samples formed from mudstones with lacustrine facies dep… Show more
