摘要

Soil profiles are rarely preserved in the Himalaya due to active tectonics and erosion. We have studied two rarely well-preserved soil profiles developed on metavolcanic rocks namely Alaknanda soil profile (ASP) and Bhilangna soil profile (BSP) in Alaknanda and Bhilangna watersheds of the Garhwal Himalaya. Geochemical studies were carried out to understand the elemental mobility with reference to the least altered rock (LAR) in both the profiles and are compared. Differences in major element behaviour noticed are depletion of Ca and K in ASP, and depletion of Ca and Na in BSP. Trace elements also show variable mobility such as leaching of Rb, U and enrichment of Sr, Ni in ASP. In BSP, behaviour of these elements is just the opposite. Accumulation of Sigma REEs in saprolitic layer and depletion in regolith of ASP suggest that rare earth element (REE) mobility took place during advanced stages of weathering. In BSP, increase in REE content from LAR to regolith suggests dominance of chemical weathering over physical weathering. This is also reflected in chemical index of alteration values which suggest variation of climatic parameters such as rainfall in the region.
