The main advantages of these methods are their simplicity and non-destructiveness as well as their low cost. In this study, we test the effectiveness of rock magnetic methods in delineating soil horizons in highly magnetic volcanic soil. A soil outcrop in Lembang, West Java is used as a test bed. Samples were taken in duplicate at an interval of about 10?cm from the 3 meters outcrop. At the site, soil horizons are clearly defined based on their colorations and textures. A series of magnetic methods, in the form of bulk magnetic and frequency-dependent susceptibility measurements as well as measurement of anhysteretic remanent magnetization, were conducted on all samples. The results show that magnetic properties, especially bulk magnetic susceptibility correlate well with soil horizons. The three visually distinct horizons possess distinctive magnetic properties. The magnetic properties could even infer pedogenic changes in the third horizon, which visually homogeneous.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Magnetic methods,Soil horizons,West Java[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4917159[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
