Abstract
We have developed a new x-ray spectrograph procedure for quantifying the extent of soil loss from erosion. As a soil erodes, the mass absorption coefficient line is altered. This procedure was tested using soils with argillic horizons and should be useful for soil erosion studies in areas having Alfisols, Ultisols, and Mollisols with argillic horizons. -from Authors
