Although pedogenic processes responsible for the formation of sodic soils have been described in detail in our paper based on research results obtained, we explain further for a better understanding on the impossibility of leaching of free CaCO3 in soils, as it is not a recognized pedogenic process in soil science.

Abstract


Although pedogenic processes responsible for the formation of sodic soils have been described in detail in our paper based on research results obtained, we explain further for a better understanding on the impossibility of leaching of free CaCO3 in soils, as it is not a recognized pedogenic process in soil science.
