Earth:Calciorthid
From HandWiki
Calciorthid is the taxonomic classification of soils possessing the following properties:
- Yellowish to grey colour. (The overall grey colour reflects the deficiency of organic matter)[1]
- Poor in nitrogen, phosphorus and potash[2]
- Is alkaline, with pH ranging from 7.8 to 8.5.[3]
- Are sandy loam to silt in mixture[4]
In the U.S. Soil Taxonomy, they fall under the Aridisols (dry soils) and are distinguished by a calcic horizon where calcium carbonate has accumulated.[5]
