Rock magnetism in modern soils, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina

The influence of climate on the magnetic signal has been investigated assuming it is a first order factor in soil formation. In order to assess the degree of variability of the magnetic signal under different drainage conditions, Mollisols from the Pampean region developed on Pampean loess at varyin...
