Carbonate and elemental accumulation rates in arid soils of mid-to-late Pleistocene outwash terraces, southeastern Wind River Range, Wyoming, USA

The development of soils on Quaternary outwash terraces in this region is controlled through the rates of aeolian influx over time as modified by glacial/interglacial climate variations rather than by moisture availability. Consequently, carbonate accumulation rates in these soils are 'influx limited' rather than 'moisture limited'.
