We present an analysis of magnetic fabric (MF) studies on loess. New aspects of fabric development reveal: i) The deposition of the aeolian sediments was controlled by gravity, low-energy transport and local geomorphology, hence no clarified wind direction can be defined. ii) The influence of phyllosilicates is also significant among the magnetic components. iii) While the primary MF is relatively well-defined, the secondary MF is influenced by several processes. The analysis of stereoplots combined with the q-beta diagram and photostatistics showed encouraging results during the characterization of various secondary MF such as redeposited MF and pedogenic fabric. iv) Changes in processes from aeolian to water-lain deposition and the increasing transportation energy were reflected by the connection between AMS and observed micro-scale sedimentary features. v) A relationship was obvious between the degree of pedogenesis and the transformation of sedimentary MF into a vertical MF typical for paleosols. vi) The significant role of very fine grained magnetite on the formation of inverse MF could not be excluded.

Indeed, the Danube River and tributaries may themselves be responsible for the transportation of large volumes of silt that ultimately drive loess formation in the middle and lower reaches of this large catchment. However, this vast loess province lacks a unified stratigraphic scheme. European loess research started in the late 17th century in the Danube Basin with the work of Count Luigi Ferdinand Marsigli. Since that time numerous investigations provided the basis for the pioneering stratigraphic framework proposed initially by Kukla (1970, 1977) in his correlations of loess with deep-sea sediments. Loess-palaeosol sequences in the middle and lower reaches of the Danube River basin were a key part of this framework and contain some of the longest and most complete continental climate records in Europe, covering more than the last million years. However, the very size of the Danube loess belt and the large number of countries it covers presents a major limiting factor in developing a unified approach that enables continental scale analysis of the deposits. Local loess-palaeosol stratigraphic schemes have been defined separately in different countries and the difficulties in correlating such schemes, which often change significantly with advances in age-dating, have limited the number of basin-wide studies. A unified basin-wide stratigraphic model would greatly alleviate these difficulties and facilitate research into the wider significance of these loess records. Therefore we review the existing stratigraphic schemes and define a new Danube Basin wide loess stratigraphy based around a synthetic type section of the Mošorin and Stari Slankamen sites in Serbia. We present a detailed comparison with the sedimentological and palaeoclimatic records preserved in sediments of the Chinese Loess Plateau, with the oxygen isotope records from deep-sea sediments, and with classic European Pleistocene stratigraphic subdivisions. The hierarchy of Danubian stratigraphic units is determined by climatically controlled environmental shifts, in a similar way to the Chinese loess stratigraphic scheme. A new unified Danube loess stratigraphic model has a number of advantages, including preventing confusion resulting from the use of multiple national schemes, a more transparent basis, and the potential to set Pleistocene palaeoenvironmental changes recorded in the Danube catchment area into a global context. The use of a very simple labelling system based on the well-established Chinese loess scheme facilitates interpretation of palaeoenvironmental information reported from the Danube Basin loess sites in a wider more accessible context that can be readily correlated world-wide. This stratigraphic approach also provides, for the first time, an appropriate framework for the development of an integrated, pan-European and potentially pan-Eurasian loess stratigraphic scheme. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.}, keywords = {Europe; STRATIGRAPHY; PLEISTOCENE; Danube; loess; Chinese Loess Plateau}, year = {2015}, eissn = {1872-6828}, pages = {228-258}, orcid-numbers = {Újvári, Gábor/0000-0002-2816-6155; Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440; Kovács, János/0000-0001-7742-5515} } @article{MTMT:2404959, title = {Paleoenvironmental reconstruction based on the morphology and distribution of secondary carbonates of the loess-paleosol sequence at Süttő, Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2404959}, author = {Barta, Gabriella}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2013.08.019}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {319}, unique-id = {2404959}, issn = {1040-6182}, abstract = {Micro- and macroscale secondary carbonates were investigated from the loess-paleosol sequence of Sütt}o, Hungary. As secondary carbonates are formed in pedosedimentary environments, they designate how the microecosystem adapts to dust accretion. Besides pedogenic aspects, the hints of diagenesis can be tracked, especially concerning leaching effects. The main goal of this study was to make an attempt whether the distribution-related signals of secondary carbonates combined with their genetic properties can be used for paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The elaborated method is wet sieving of bulk loess/ paleosol samples in order to: 1) separate secondary carbonates to describe morphological properties, partly with the help of scanning electron microscopy; and 2) provide a depth-related semiquantitative distribution. The semiquantitative distribution is ordered to the marine isotope stage units of the Sütt}o sequence (MIS 6 to 2). The MIS 6 section is characterized by presumably slower dust accumulation and raises the possibility of a multiphase leaching history throughout the profile. Lower dust accumulation rates with increasing aridity are assumed upwards in MIS 5. MIS 4 is typified by arid conditions and the alternation of lower and higher dust accumulations. Certain properties of paleosol development and frost deformation related to secondary carbonates can be distinguished in MIS 3. Dust accumulation rates are presumed to be consistent upwards in this section. During MIS 2, different sedimentation stages are distinguished, but generally they show a decreasing trend upwards to the modern soil. This work serves as a complementary method which may help to refine the paleoenviromental signals of the Sütt}o loesspaleosol sequence to determine relative sedimentary phases. The limitations of the method have to be taken into consideration, as the results are semiquantitative.}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1873-4553}, pages = {64-75}, orcid-numbers = {Barta, Gabriella/0000-0002-5460-1085} } @article{MTMT:2497570, title = {Sárga föld, lősz, lösz: short historical overview of loess research and lithostratigraphy in Hungary}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2497570}, author = {Horváth, Erzsébet and Bradák, Balázs}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2013.10.066}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {319}, unique-id = {2497570}, issn = {1040-6182}, year = {2014}, eissn = {1873-4553}, pages = {1-10}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Erzsébet/0000-0002-0197-4152} } @inbook{MTMT:2044262, title = {Woodland-Grassland Ecotonal Shifts in Environmental Mosaics: Lessons Learnt from the Environmental History of the Carpathian Basin (Central Europe) During the Holocene and the Last Ice Age Based on Investigation of Paleobotanical and Mollusk Remains.}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2044262}, author = {Sümegi, Pál and Persaits, G and Gulyás, Sándor}, booktitle = {Ecotones Between Forest and Grassland}, doi = {10.1007/978-1-4614-3797-0_2}, unique-id = {2044262}, year = {2012}, pages = {17-57}, orcid-numbers = {Sümegi, Pál/0000-0003-1755-4440; Gulyás, Sándor/0000-0002-3384-2381} } @article{MTMT:2972517, title = {Franz Ritter von Hauer's work and one of the first loess map of Central Europe}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2972517}, author = {Gaudenyi, Tivadar and Jovanovic, M}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2010.04.008}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {234}, unique-id = {2972517}, issn = {1040-6182}, year = {2011}, eissn = {1873-4553}, pages = {4-9} } @article{MTMT:2218443, title = {Investigating the penultimate and last glacial cycles of the Sutto loess section (Hungary) using luminescence dating, high-resolution grain size, and magnetic susceptibility data}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2218443}, author = {Novothny, Ágnes and Frechen, M and Horváth, Erzsébet and Wacha, L and Rolf, C}, doi = {10.1016/j.quaint.2010.08.002}, journal-iso = {QUATERN INT}, journal = {QUATERNARY INTERNATIONAL}, volume = {234}, unique-id = {2218443}, issn = {1040-6182}, abstract = {The loess-paleosol record at Sutto provides an excellent high-resolution archive of climate and environmental changes. Loess deposits with a thickness of 20 m cover the travertine at Sutto in the northern part of Hungary, next to the right bank of the Danube River. The loess sequence is intercalated with two greyish stratified horizons, three brownish steppe-like soils and a pedocomplex, including a reddish-brown paleosol covered by a chernozem-like paleosol. Detailed infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating was carried out, revealing more or less continuous sedimentation from Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6-MIS 2. Sedimentological and paleomagnetic investigations have been performed to provide a high-resolution study of the Sutto loess paleosol sequence, in order to reconstruct the paleoclimate and environmental changes during the penultimate and last glacial cycles. Grain size and magnetic susceptibility (MS) records of the Sutto profile basically show similar patterns to those of other European loess sections. However, small differences are traced at Sutto, including more intensive deposition of coarser grained materials during MIS 6-4. The loess record at Sutto has a transitional position within the European loess belt, as its sediment was deposited under an intermediate climate between the loess successions from the southern Carpathian Basin, which accumulated under drier climate, and the loess sequences from Western Europe, which developed under wetter climate during the Middle and Late Pleniglacial.

The older Bag Tephra has been described From numerous loess outcrops in Hungary, whereas the younger Paks Tephra has been described only from the brickyard of Paks, in southern Hungary. The most characteristic heavy minerals in these horizons are various clinopyroxenes occurring in different proportions. The clinopyroxenes of the Bag Tephra are extremely rich in Ca and Al. while the volcanic glass is rich in K indicating high-K andesitic or shoshonitic volcanism. Based on comparative geochemical analyses, the most likely origin of the Bag Tephra is the Roman or the Campanian volcanic fields in Italy. Geochemical investigation of the Paks Tephra is in progress, and preliminary results suggest the same source for this younger tephra.
