The Character and Origin of the Soil Tongues in the Burford Loam / Soil Tongues In The Burford Loam

<p> A pedological investigation was made of the soil tongues in the Burford loam soils of S. W. Ontario. The purpose of the study was to determine the characteristic features of the soil tongues. The physical and chemical properties of a number of soil tongues were determined and one was used for a micromorphological investigation. Measurements of horizontal and vertical extent were also made. Discussion of the various hypotheses that might account for soil tongue development is included. Evidence for a periglacial climate is given and also f'or the existence of two distinct types of soil tongues. </p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
