Mixed Signals: interpreting mixing patterns of different soil bioturbation processes through luminescence and numerical modelling by W. M. van der Meij, S. Riedesel, S. Riedesel, T. Reimann

“…The luminescence signal resets (bleaches) when a soil particle is exposed to daylight at the soil surface and accumulates when the particle is buried in the soil, acting as a proxy for subsurface residence times. In this study, we compiled three luminescence datasets of soil mixing by different biota and compared them to numerical simulations of bioturbation using the ChronoLorica soil-landscape evolution model. …”
