Introduction

The occurrence of soil in coastal zones is not a simple matter to resolve. Summarized coastal zones form a global perspective that only briefly indicates potential occurrence of soil in relation to coastal landforms, maritime climates, drainage, vegetation, and time available for formation. Increased understanding of coastal soils is, however, only possible from the purview of specific examples that illustrate soil distribution patterns in terms of sequences based on soil-forming factors of topography (toposequences), time (chronosequences), climate change (climosequence), and biological factors (biosequence). The conceptual frameworks for the models were initially postulated by Jenny (1941) and subsequently enhanced by various other researchers (e.g., Butler 1959, 1967; Runge 1973; Huggett 1975). The value of these sequential paradigms is that they provide visualization of complex interrelationships in a framework that clarifies and elucidates coastal-soil transition...
