O článku:
The paper proposes a new method to distinguish between paleosols and glacial loess deposits. The aim of our study is to test whether magnetic susceptibility measurements can be used as proxies for determining the boundary between the loess and paleosol. The measurements show excellent correlation with occurrence of the horizons influenced with pedogenesis. These values are generally explained in terms of the greater concentrations of ultrafine ferrimagnetic minerals in the recent soils and paleosols. The observed relationship between the susceptibility and lithology follows the behavior observed on the Chinese Loess Plateau, which is the complete opposite of the pattern reported from Alaskan and Siberian loess deposits.
