Abstract
We applied a statistical procedure to soil landscapes to show variability in soil bodies and to aid in recognizing transition (boundaries) between them. Trials were made by collecting soil samples at a depth of 30 cm at 50-cm intervals along a 75-m-long transect on a wooded slope dominated by Typic Hapludalfs. Time series and L statistics were used in the analysis of the silt and clay contents. The results showed that soil bodies could be partitioned into different series by using as few as two soil properties. © Williams & Wilkins 1988. All Rights Reserved.
