The Occurrence and Distribution of Lime in Calcium Carbonate Solonchak and Associated Soils of Eastern North Dakota¹

ABSTRACT

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