TI  - Influence of Toposequence on Physical and Mineralogical Properties of Soils Developed on Basaltic Parent Material under Sub-humid Terrestrial Ecosystem
AB  - Understanding of soil forming factors is crucial to definephysical, mineralogical and morphological properties ofsoils. In addition to that soil formations were highlyassociated with slope positions which have influence onpedogenetic and weathering process of the soils. Because,topography or relief affects how water and other material areadded to and removed from soils. The aim of this study is toenhance our understanding of the role toposequence incontrolling chemical weathering, influence on physical andmineralogical properties in soils developed on basaltic parentmaterial under sub-humid terrestrial ecosystem in Black Searegion of Turkey using geochemical and mineralogical dataobtained from X-ray diffraction and Scanning ElectronMicroscope analysis. For this purpose, four representativeprofiles formed on different topographic positions of transectwere investigated and designated according to Soil SurveyStaff (2014)/IUSS Working Group WRB (2015)classification systems. The results clearly showed thattopography strongly affects soil physical, mineralogical andmorphological characteristics either directly or indirectly inthe local region even soils formed on the same parentmaterial with the same climatic condition. This case was alsoexplained with chemical weathering indices (Chemical Indexof Alteration and Chemical Index of Weathering) in thisstudy.
