Historical maps as a tool in the interpretation of urban topsoil geochemistry: A case study from the Roman city of Sisak, Croatia Open
Topsoil geochemistry maps of the city of Sisak were compared with historical maps to explain the geochemistry of the topsoil. Historically, three periods of Sisak's development can be distinguished: 1) the Celtic and Roman period; 2) the M…

The influence of weathering and pedogenesis on the geochemical record of Miocene marls and Plio-Quaternary sediments, Medvednica Mt., Croatia Open
The geochemical signature of weathering and pedogenesis in a temperate humid climate on two parent material types in the foothills of Medvednica Mt. was studied. Five soil profiles on Miocene marls and three sections of Plio-Quaternary (Pl…

Redoximorphic features as indicators of soil water regime Open
Soil water regime, as one of the key components of soil fertility, refers to the quantity, retention, and movement of soil water. Rather than through expensive and/or time-consuming measurements, it can be assessed from the field-observabl…
