| Definitionskos:definition | Clay carbonate refers to clay particles that are associated with or contain carbonate minerals, particularly calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). These carbonates are typically present in soils with higher pH (alkaline soils), and they play a significant role in buffering soil acidity. Clay-carbonate soils are found in regions with semi-arid and arid climates, where evaporation exceeds precipitation. These soils can have distinct properties, including a lower cation exchange capacity compared to non-carbonate soils and an ability to neutralize soil acidity, influencing both soil fertility and plant growth.
