Commission Report of the Inter-Congress period 1999-2003Arnt Bronger, bronger@geographie.uni-kiel.de Paleopedology is regarded as the study of paleosols, which have been somewhat loosely defined as soils formed on a landscape during the geologic past. We distinguish buried or fossil soils from non-buried paleosols or relict soils One of the most important uses of buried Quaternary paleosols has been the paleoclimatic interpretation of the mutiple soils in long loess sequences of Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, China, USA and Argentina. These sequences have provided detailed records of a climatic history of the last 2,6 million years. This is one of the task of paleopedology mainly in the Internat. Quaternary Association (INQUA). Non buried paleosols or relict soils show two or more sets of properties which can be related to different combinations of soil-forming factors (esp. different climates and with it vegetation) through sets of often incompatible soil forming processes. Incompatibility of processes implies two or more environmentally different periods of soil development. Thus also non-buried paleosols play an important role for a full and correct understanding of landscape history, which is essential for a proper appreciation of many modern environmental problems. Paleosols as a memory for understanding landscape history and environmental problems was a symposium (No. 49) during the World Congress of Soil Science August 2003 in Bangkok. The aim of our International Symposia and Field Workshops on Paleopedology (ISFWP) is to exchange ideas and concepts, to focus the discussion and to built up an active core group (as large as possible) of members of the Paleopedology Commission (INQUA). In the period 1999-2002 we had the following symposia: During the INQUA Congress in Durban, South Africa, August 3-11, 1999 the Commission on Paleopedology (WG in IUSS) had a main symposium Paleosol sequences as evidence of long- and short term climatic cycles and two afternoon workshops. V ISFWP Paleosols and modern soils as stages of continuous soil formation was held in Suzdal, Russia, partly together with the III Congress of Dokuchaev Soil Science Society of Russian Academy of Science, July 10-16, 2000, attended by 45 participants from 6 countries. A report of this meeting including abstracts of the presented papers is given in Commission on Paleopedology Newsletter No.17, December 2000. VI. ISFWP, held in Chapingo near Mexico City , October 8-11, 2001, attended by 46 participants from 10 countries. A pre-Conference excursion (October 6-7) studied tephra-paleosol sequences in the Nevada de Toluca area. A post-Conference excursion (October 12-13) studied modern soils of Sierra Nevada, relict polygenetic Luvisols with tepetates (indurated horizons in volcanic sediments) and tephra-paleosol sequences in the Tlaxcala area. A report of this meeting including the abstracts of the presented papers is given in Commission on Paleopedology Newsletter No. 18, January 2002. During this symposium a new Working Group Latin American Paleopedology WG was formed with Martin Iriondo, Argentina as chairman and Elizabeth Solleiro, Mexico as the secretary of the WG. They arranged already their first meeting on November 21-23, 2002 in Anillaco, La Rioja province, Argentina with two days oral presentations of paleopedological issues and one day field trip. A report of this meeting is given in our Newsletter No. 19, January 2003. The Commission on Paleopedology intends to get the papers, presented on its symposia, published in international reviewed journals: Thirty-eight reviewed papers, mainly presented at the IV. ISFWP in Lanzhou, China 1998: Climatic Change: Paleopedological and Soil Rock Magnetic Approaches were published in Chinese Science Bulletin, Vol. 44, Supp. 1, pp. 1-263, 1999. Fifteen reviewed papers, presented at the III ISFWP, held together with Comm. V of the ISSS 1997 in Rauischholzhausen, Germany are published in a special issue Recent and paleo-pedogenesis as tools for modeling past and future global change in CATENA, Vol 41, pp. 1-259, 2000. Reviewed papers, presented at a Paleopedology Symposium Records in soils of environmental and anthropogenic changes, held at the World Congress of Soil Science at Montpellier, France 1998 were published partly in CATENA, vol. 43, pp. 163-276, 2001 (eight papers), partly in Quaternary International, Vol. 78, pp. 1-70, 2001 (seven papers). 18 reviewed papers, presented mainly at the V. ISFWP Paleosols and modern soils as stages of continuous soil formation in Suzdal, Russia are now in print as a special volume in Quaternary International Vol. 105/106. It will contain approximately 200 pages. Mid of 2002 ICSU granted 47,000 US $ for the project Polygenetic models
for Pleistocene paleosols: new approach to decoding the paleosol-sedimentary
records for a Paleopedology Commission research group from Mexico, Germany,
Austria and Russia, supported by INQUA and IUSS.
