dc.description.abstract | Purpose The use of fallout radionuclides as proxies for the study of soil redistribution processes in semiarid environments
of Southern Spain has been restricted to 137Cs. The potential and limitations of alternative proxies such as 239+240Pu and
210Pbxs should be explored given the expected constrains imposed by the features of the study area.
Materials and methods Four soil and one sediment cores were collected in a highly eroded area to test the feasibility of
these proxies under demanding conditions. The use of gamma spectrometry and ICP-MS did allow exploring the potential
of 210Pbxs and Pu isotopes against the well-established tracer, 137Cs. The activity ratios 239+240Pu/137Cs were explored to
evaluate the previous evolution of the sampling sites. Soil redistribution rates were estimated using the model MODERN.
Results and discussion Despite all the profles showed intense perturbation, Pu isotopes showed the highest potential thanks
to higher sensitivity and sample throughput. The deviations of 239+240Pu/137Cs inventory ratios (0.012–0.158) from the global
fallout average (0.026±0.003) suggest that the sediment core was a deposition site involving alternate episodes of topsoil
removal and incorporation from diferent sources. The calculated erosion rates ranged 34–43 t ha−1 year−1, being in good
agreement for 137Cs and 239+240Pu. 210Pbxs was not used due to low-quality data.
Conclusions The use of Pu as a tracer of soil redistribution processes in semiarid areas seems to be promising even under
severe erosion conditions. The use of 210Pbxs is not recommended in this area due to its low concentration. | es |
