The Genesis and Properties of Some Colluvial (Local Alluvial) Soils in the Drumlin Landscape of Dodge County, Wisconsin
1955
Gile, Leland H.
Field and laboratory data are presented for three Miami profiles, one undisturbed and two eroded, and two related colluvial soil profiles. The eroded soils were higher in exchangeable potassium, available phosphorus and pH than were the associated colluvial soils. Where erosion was moderate, the organic matter content was higher in the colluvial topsoil than in the cultivated upland topsoil. Where erosion was severe, the opposite was true. An organic matter content of over 2% was found in a cultivated surface horizon composed largely of C horizon material.
