- Title
NOTE ON THE EDAPHIC SUCCESSION IN SOME DUNE SOILS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE TIME FACTOR.
- Authors
Salisbury, E. J.
- Abstract
The article provides information on the edaphic succession in some dune soils in Blakeney Point, England. The author shows the progressive leaching of the carbonates with increasing age, the passage from an alkaline to an acid condition, and the progressive increase in the organic content by studying several samples of the dune ridges. He explains that these changes are accompanied by changes in the flora that broadly comprised in reduction of calcicole species and the advent of calcifuge types. He also adds that since a certain degree of accuracy was needed to determine the age of the successive dune ridges from their relative position, a visit to the Southport dune system is required.
