Abstract
An array of magnetic measurements is used to trace the occurrence of magnetically enhanced topsoil in two different environmental settings. The first is a cultivated slope section where the results confirm that movements of topsoil have occurred, but that identification of specific erosional processes is problematic. The second is a lake-catchment system where measurements on soils and sediments allow a partial reconstruction of soil movements from different sources over the last 200 y. The study highlights both the need to analyse the magnetic mineralogies of different particle size fractions and the difficulties that may be encountered in trying to discriminate between topsoil and subsoil material on the basis of demagnetization parameters alone.
