1927 C. F. Marbut tr. K. D. Glinka Great Soil Groups 100 Traces of the Podsolizing processes [Ger. des Podsolbildungsprozesses] are shown in shallow depressions... The Podsolizing and leaching [Ger. die Podsolierungs- und Auslaugungsprozesse] has reached a more advanced stage of the development.
1936 Jrnl. Ecol. 24 130 This drifted sand varies in depth from a few centimetres to several metres, and it in turn is subjected to the podsolising process.
1962 Ecology 43 772 The slow development of the soil profile may be in part attributed to the cover of red pine, a species of subdued podzolizing tendencies.
1976 Nature 15 Apr. 602/2 It would seem to result from percolating solutions removing surface coverings of ferric oxides from quartz sand grains and depositing them again within a short distance, that is, in a typical podzolising process.
1988 Jrnl. Ecol. 76 872 Hemlock and white pine, for instance, are noted for the..podzolizing tendencies of their litter.
