Abstract
CALCIUM carbonate in soil is generally assumed to behave like pure calcite. Equations relating calcium carbonate solubility to carbon dioxide pressure have been given, though their application to calcareous soils has not yet been tested thoroughly1,2. Thus, usually only the system CaCO3–CO2–H2O is considered, neglecting a possible interaction between the carbonates and other soil components1–3.
