Clay Mineral Formation | SpringerLink
Clay minerals present in soils formed on argillaceous parent materials like alluvial or loessial deposits, marls, shales, and claystone are frequently inherited. Inheritance is also possible when only a fraction of the parent material consists of clay minerals like in limestone. Inheritance is less frequent when the parent materials are …Web

Influence of Clay Mineralogy on Soil Organic Carbon
Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization has received much focus recently due to its relevance in controlling the global carbon (C) cycle. Clay minerals are known to stabilize SOC through mechanisms such as, ligand exchange, polyvalent cation bridging, electrostatic attraction, H-bonding, and van der Waals forces. Most …Web

Clay Minerals in Soils: The Interface Between Plants and the Mineral
Two minerals differentiate the two plant regime clay assemblages: illite present in all cases but more abundant in the sequoia soils, and chlorite present in three of the more acidic soils under sequoia but not present in the corresponding prairie soils. The chlorite is identified by the sharp peak at 14.2 and 7.1 Å.Web

Introduction. Clay minerals are a highly diverse and abundant group of minerals that derive from the interaction of water with rock in the Earth's crust. Because clay minerals are often found in the clay-size fraction of sediments and soils (i.e., below 2 μm), the terms "clay" and "clay minerals" are often used interchangeably.Web
