  • Calcareous Soil: Definition, Properties & Plant Suitability
    Soil with a large amount of calcium carbonate is typically called calcareous soil.

    Here's why:

    * Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is the primary component of limestone, and calcareous soils are formed from the weathering of limestone.

    * Calcareous soils often have a high pH (alkaline), as calcium carbonate is a base.

    * The presence of calcium carbonate can influence the soil's fertility and suitability for certain plants.
