The farm Maandagshoek 254 KT is situated in the
eastern lobe of the Bushveld Complex. The investigated
sequence forms part of the Winterveld Norite-Anorthosite of
the critical zone and consists of the UGl, UG2, UG3 ...
Accurately identifying soil texture and understanding soil behaviour in terms of plasticity is a crucial initial step in properly
characterizing a site, which in turn facilitates appropriate sampling and scheduling of ...
