摘要
We thus conclude that so long as the soils, no matter clay or not, could retain sufficient water either dispersed uniformly or unevenly throughout the soil, freeze-thaw actions would result in the swell-shrink dynamics of the soils and the likely occurrence of fissures. This implies greater possibilities for initiation and occurrence of gullies that develop from fissures induced by freeze-thaw processes in farmlands or other lands over the Mollisols region in northeastern China. Together with the alluvial interpretations, our evidence of fissures caused by freeze-thaw actions may contribute to a better understanding of wide occurrences of gullies in the Mollisols regions of China. © 2021 Soil Conservation Society of America.
