The mineralogy of some ceylon soils
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2018
Abstract
The mineralogical composition of the clay, silt and sand fractions from soil profiles representative of four of Ceylon's major soil groups have been determined using X-ray, differential thermal, optical and chemical methods. The results show that the mineral assemblages in these fractions can be correlated with the pedogenesis and the degree of maturity of the profile.
