Summary
Abstract: This study aimed to understand the origin and dynamics of pedogenic carbonate in Antarctic soils, with a long-term view to understanding the formation of carbonate and the storage and turnover of inorganic carbon in desert soils. Soil pits were dug on surfaces of varying age in eastern Taylor Valley and around Lake Wellman. Each pit was described and volumetrically sampled to enable laboratory ... View entire text
