Abstract

SummarySimple, rapid and non‐destructive measurements of magnetic properties (magnetic susceptibility, saturation isothermal remanent magnetization and coercivity of isothermal remanence) coupled with more time consuming and sophisticated analyses such as thermomagnetic and Mössbauer effect studies, provide a basis for identifying forms of iron oxide present in the soil.At two of the sites studied, Caldy Hill, Merseyside, and Llyn Bychan, N. Wales, the secondary ferrimagnetic oxide formed in surface soil as a result of recent forest fires is shown to be non‐stoichiometric magnetite approximating to the formula Fe2. 904. No evidence for the presence of maghemite was found in any of the soil samples from these sites or in soils from the Annecy region of S.E. France.
