Main publication details
MARC recordPloughing-boulder characteristics and associated soil properties in the Lake District and southern Scotland / Peter Wilson.
| Title: | Ploughing-boulder characteristics and associated soil properties in the Lake District and southern Scotland / Peter Wilson. |
| Author(s): | Wilson, Peter. |
| Date: | 1993. |
| In: | Scottish Geographical Magazine. (1993.), Vol. 109(1) (1993) |
| Abstract: | Characteristics of 179 ploughing boulders identified as similar to those elsewhere in uplands of Britain. Soil properties (organic matter content, grain size, index properties) lend support to proposal that gelifluction (local liquefaction and flow of soils caused by high pore-water pressures generated during thaw consolidation) is principal mechanism of movement. |
| Notes: | Scottish Geographical Magazine. Vol. 109(1) :18-26 (1993). |
