Question

Write The Features Of Chalky Soil

Answer 1

Explanation:

Chalky soils are highly variable and range from gravelly to clay-like. The clay-like element may in fact be mainly finely divided calcium carbonate making it very poor for plant growth. However where true clay is present in the soil, nutrient levels may be higher and the water holding capacity greater.

Answer 2

Answer:

#Chalky or lime-rich soils may be light or heavy but are largely made up of calcium carbonate and are very alkaline (they have a pH of 7.1-8.0)

#If soil froths when placed in a jar of vinegar, then it contains free calcium carbonate (chalk) or limestone and is lime rich.
