| 1 | A chemical index of weather-ing without effect of wind sorting: Fe/Mg ratios in the acid-insoluble phases of loess deposits显示文摘Chemical analysis of acid-insoluble fractions in loess and paleosols shows that concentrations of Fe and Mg were under control of wind sorting and post-depositional weathering-pedogenesis. The former caused Fe and Mg concentrated in the finer grain-size fractions, displaying synchronous variations, while the latter made Fe and Mg separated, leading to Fe retained in the weathered section and Mg leached out. Therefore, Fe/Mg ratios in the acid insoluble fraction of loess and paleosols can eliminate the effect of wind sorting and serve as an excellent proxy record on intensity of weathering-pedogenesis. Based on calculation, leaching percentage of Mg in the paleosol S1 from the Luochuan, Xifeng and Huanxian sections is 15%, 11% and 2%, respectively, and on average 9% for the paleosols S2—S14 from the Luochuan section, with the highest value amounting to 22% in S5-1, suggesting the strongest weathering-pedogenesis. | Liu, LW Chen, J Wang, HT Chen, Y | 2001 | Chinese Science Bulletin2001，46，16： | 5 |
