For reference, nearby high-clay (more acidic) soils in higher topographic positions tended to have lower calcium levels between 200-1000 ppm. My question: what would be the source/cause of high calcium in sandy alluvial soils? What role does the nearing-neutral pH have?
Alluvial: Detrital material which is transported by a river and usually deposited along the river's pathway, either in the riverbed itself or on its floodplain. Colluvial: Weathered material transported by gravity action such as on scree slopes. Eluvial: Weathered material still at or near its point of formation.
I was reading about kimberlite on Wikipedia and it mentioned eluvium. I've heard of alluvium, alluvial fans, alluvial deposits, etc. However, when I looked up eluvium, it sounded exactly like alluv...
The USGS maps of coastal California label alluvial deposits as Qyf and Qof — the “younger” and “older” fans of coarse sediments. But in areas of the earth that never saw Quaternary glaciation (like California), does that distinction make any sense?
