Publication Soil (chrono-) sequences on marine terraces : pedogenesis in two coastal areas of Basilicata and Agrigent, Southern Italy(2009) Wagner, Stephen; Stahr, KarlThis work contributes to the understanding of the Quaternary history in Mediterranean landscapes in Southern Italy. The time frame of soil formation processes was therefore investigated on two sequences of marine terraces. A central question of this study was whether soil formation reflects progressive terrace ages. Chronofunctions were used to apply relative indices of soil development in different pedostratigraphic levels. The newly developed indices generally show incessant weathering on continuously older terraces and therefore true soil chronosequences. A few terraces may however once have formed a single terrace body which was later separated and uplifted by tectonic activity.Publication TUSEC - Bilingual-Edition : eine Methode zur Bewertung natürlicher und anthropogener Böden (Deutsche Fassung)(2013) Stahr, Karl; Lehmann, Andreas; David, SusanneThe ‘TUSEC-book’ is a manual for soil evaluation in the temperate zone, comprising English and German versions in one volume. New and innovative are the explicit consideration of anthropogenic soils with the TUSEC evaluation and the differentiation of the evaluation system into two evaluation methods for different levels of detail. Both the part describing the detailed method and the part showing the overview method are again divided into chapters with step-by-step descriptions of methods concerning the evaluation of the widely known soil functions. Every one of these chapters is introduced with principal explanations on the respective soil functions and descriptions of the specificities of the method are provided. Thereby, details on the methodological extensions, which are necessary for the evaluation of anthropogenic soils, are highlighted. Whereas the chapters concerning the detailed evaluation method reflect well-tested procedures, only a beta version is available for the overview method.
