Soil Development in Relation to Vegetation and Surface Age at Glacier Bay, Alaska
Abstract
rate of change, over a short period, of many soil properties, with most of the above difficulties reduced to the minimum. This especially applies to those properties which relate directly to vegetation. At Glacier Bay a fairly detailed knowledge of the history of recent deglaciation has been established (Cooper, 1937; Field, 1947), and along with Cooper's (1923, 1931, 1939) classic vegetation succession studies it affords an exceptionally good basis for this kind of investigation. In the present paper the rate of development of some of the characteristics of the forest floor, and changes in the mineral-soil properties of reaction (pH), organic carbon, total nitrogen, calcium carbonate, and bulk density of the fine earth are reported. These changes are related both to age of the surface and to the

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
