Soil characteristics and pedogenic processes are relatively unstudied on Holocene age barrier islands in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. The objective of this study was to assess how landform stability and hydrologic conditions (water availability) influenced pedogenesis in barrier island soils. Ten topographic transects were established on different barrier island landforms (i.e., washover fan, back-barrier flat, barrier flat, and dune field) which ranged in age from 1 to 228
