- Soil memory: Types of record, carriers, hierarchy and diversity Victor O. Targulian Sergey V. Goryachkin Ciencias de la Tierra soil memory isomorphism polymorphism solid phase carriers The concept of palimpsest-wise soil memory and record is generally characterized in comparisonwith the book-wise memory and record of sedimentary rocks. Soil systems have a capacity for storinginformation about environmental factors and pedogenic processes that have been acting for a period ofpedogenesis. The main mechanisms of soil memory and record formation are those sets of pedogenicprocesses that generate the solid phase products and features within the multiphase soil system. Themain types of solid-phase carriers of soil memory and their spatial/temporal hierarchy within the soilsystem are briefly described. The phenomena of isomorphism and polymorphism of soil record carriersin regard to the pedogenic processes should be realized when we try to decode and understand theinformation stored in soil memory. Each specific type of climate could not be imprinted in only one typeof pedon. When reading the record in the soil system under one type of climate, it is obligatory to accountfor the diversity of solid phase soil horizons and pedons induced by the diversity of parent materials(lithodiversity), topography (topodiversity), biota (biodiversity) and duration of pedogenesis(chronodiversity). 2004 artículo científico 1026-8774 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57221102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=572 Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas (México) Num.1 Vol.21
