AB  - The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of weathering processes on the distribution of n-alkanes in unweathered and weathered samples of badland material. Organic matter (OM) of both the weathered and unweathered zones in badland environments is derived from the same sources such any differences between the n-alkane pattern of the two zones can be attributed to the impact of weathering processes under different climate conditions. Organic geochemical and mineralogical characterizations were employed to investigate twenty-one samples from weathered badland environments in Italy, Spain, and Canada that originally derive from marine, distal alluvial, and fluvial depositional settings, respectively. According to the distribution of n-alkanes and diterpanes, unweathered samples from Italy have an original mixed aquatic-terrestrial origin of OM, with a variable (low to moderate) contribution of terrestrial plants as precursors, while unweathered samples from Spain predominantly contain OM originating from submerged/floating macrophytes deposited under reducing conditions. Unweathered samples from Canada predominantly consist of terrigenous OM. Intensity of changes in n-alkanes distribution when subjected to weathering depends on the type of precursor biomass and quantity of smectite. Predominantly terrigenous OM under semi-arid conditions shows the highest affinity for adsorption is in contact with smectite surfaces. Mid- and long-chain odd n-alkanes have a tendency to build colloidal particles with polar organic compounds such as fatty acids by strong binding and thus their preservation from degradation is possible.

AB  - Badlands can develop on bedrock and/or weathered material, the characteristics of which play a key role on hillslope processes in a range of climate conditions. Therefore, fundamental attention should be given to badland materials, the main features of which are grain size, clay mineralogy and physico-chemical characteristics. The typical weathering profile consists of crust, subsurface and unweathered material, but depending on climatic, lithological, topographic and hydrological factors, the properties and appearance of both surface and subsurface materials change over time. Through time, regolith formed on erodible and dispersive bedrock materials tends to stabilize, again as a function of slope and climate conditions because prolonged precipitation can cause decrease in surface strength and runoff and reduce the dispersivity of the surface. Vegetation also has distinct role in stabilizing the clayey sediments due to lowering the dispersivity in the upper horizon of the badland material, even though such stabilization is often not permanent and erosion processes can sometimes reoccur. Finally, all the above cited factors and properties of badland materials play a complex and key role in the development of different geomorphic processes and related landforms.
