Cation-exchange capacity

Cation-exchange capacity (CEC) is a measure of how many cations can be retained on soil particle surfaces.

Gully

A gully is a landform created by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen is a chemical element with symbol H and atomic number 1.

Illuvium

Illuvium is material displaced across a soil profile, from one layer to another one, by the action of rainwater.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Leaching (pedology)

In pedology, leaching is the loss of mineral and organic solutes due to very heavy rainfall, high temperature and percolation.

Magnesium

Magnesium is a chemical element with symbol Mg and atomic number 12.

Potassium

Potassium is a chemical element with symbol K (from Neo-Latin kalium) and atomic number 19.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Potassium · See more »

Sodic soil

Sodic soils are characterized by a disproportionately high concentration of sodium (Na) in their cation exchange complex.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Sodic soil · See more »

Sodication

Sodication, more commonly called sodification, is the process by which the exchangeable sodium content of the soil is increased.

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Sodium · See more »

Soil

Soil is a mixture of organic matter, minerals, gases, liquids, and organisms that together support life.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Soil · See more »

Soil horizon

A soil horizon is a layer parallel to the soil surface, whose physical characteristics differ from the layers above and beneath.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Soil horizon · See more »

Soil salinity control

Soil salinity control relates to controlling the problem of soil salinity and reclaiming salinized agricultural land.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Soil salinity control · See more »

Soil structure

Soil structure describes the arrangement of the solid parts of the soil and of the pore space located between them.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Soil structure · See more »

Subsoil

Subsoil is the layer of soil under the topsoil on the surface of the ground.

New!!: Dispersion (geology) and Subsoil · See more »

Turbidity

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by large numbers of individual particles that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air.
