   What is the burial environment in a forest?

   • However, it is possible to make some very generalized comments about the burial environment within each major group of forest soil. Typically deep, well-drained soils with good aeration and is therefore unlikely to preserve organic material. The soil pH may range from acidic to alkaline this may be the biggest preservation determining factor.

   Why is buried soil important in archeology?

   • The field of archeology has focused on buried soils to facilitate the discovery of cultural artifacts and provide insight into past human environments.

   How does soil interact with buried human remains?

   • The interaction of soil and buried human remains is complex. Decomposing remains contribute to the overall organic content of the soil at the burial site so that the presence of a grave may be inferred by the elevated organic content and darker color of a localized region of a soil horizon.

   What is a buried horizon?

   • Buried horizon.—A genetic soil horizon that originally formed at or near the soil surface and is now covered by more recently deposited material. The major genetic features of the horizon were formed before burial. A buried horizon within a profile description is denoted with horizon symbol suffix “b” (e.g., Ab, Btb).

   What happens if peat soil is buried under a blanket of peat?

   • Deep peat soils can also accumulate over a relatively short time period and many archaeological features have been rediscovered, buried below a blanket of peat. Any drainage will result in a loss of any waterlogged environment and possible peat shrinkage.

   A major organic carbon burial route within landscapes is through erosion and deposition processes in which sediment (rock and soil) is transported and deposited in new places. These processes incorporate and bury organic carbon in the new deposits formed. This redistribution can occur over extremely long periods of time, driven by climatic, geologi...

   To increase understanding of the nature of these erosion processes, the researchers looked at the temporal and spatial characteristics of these long-term organic carbon sinks in soils. The study investigated the processes involved in and the extent of organic carbon burial across Great Britain since the UK Last Glacial Maximum (UK-LGM), approximate...

   Great Britain has extensive data on soil depth, buried organic carbon age and the spatial extent of deposits that have been collected through soil and geological surveys and landscape reconstruction. This information has enabled national-scale understanding of erosion-related deposits, along with their buried organic carbon properties. Using this c...
