A laboratory experiment was conducted, comparing wall-embedded TDR (wall probe [WP]) measurements with those of a regular TDR probe (standard probe [SP]). Five different soils were examined (sand, “Hamra” [red...

Observations of various climatic indicators suggest that these palaeosols were forest cinnamon soils, as shown by the compound Bt and Bk horizons, abundant clay coatings and carbonate nodules, and the diagnostic chemical composition...

Our observations suggest that all inclusions in the terracotta calcite originate from the terra rossa (a common soil type in karstic areas) and limestone outcropping adjacent to the calcite crystals. While the micrometer-sized phyllosilicate...

In our study, we expand on this idea to the temporal dimension and focus on the concentrations of the cosmogenic...
