The Occurrence and Distribution of Lime in Calcium Carbonate Solonchak and Associated Soils of Eastern North Dakota

Abstract

AbstractCalcium Carbonate Solonchaks occur in close association with Chernozems and Humic‐Gley soils. Profiles have A1‐Cca‐C horizon sequence and form in calcareous parent materials. Evidence is presented to show that the prominent Cca horizon results form the precipitation of lime out of capillary water rising or moving laterally from a zone of water saturation.
