研究时间作为成土因素的影响的一种方法是识别和调查时间序列，其中五个成土因素中有四个是恒定的或无效地变化。因此，形成一个序列的不同年龄的土壤之间观察到的差异被认为是自土壤形成开始以来不同时间间隔流逝的结果。在本文中，理论上的考虑背后的时序概念进行审查和土壤发展进行了讨论。几个非严格的时间序列进行审查，一些时间序列的研究进行检查。这些研究的意义进行评估，并为今后的调查一般desiderata。
One method of studying the effects of time as a soil-forming factor is to recognize and investigate a chronosequence, wherein four out of five soil-forming factors are constant or vary ineffectively. Thus, observed differences between soils of different ages forming a sequence are deemed to be the result of the lapse of varying intervals of time since the initiation of soil formation. In this paper theoretical considerations underlying the chronosequence concept are examined and soil development is discussed. Several non-strict chronosequences are reviewed, and a number of chronosequence studies are examined. The significance of such studies is assessed, and general desiderata for future investigations set out.
