The soil has a high clay content and a high pH, with salts remaining as water is evaporated in the desert air.
32.
The attenuation of heavy metals ( or the taking up of metals by plants ) can depend on clay content and cation-exchange capacity.
33.
Due to high clay content in the subsoil, a large part of all industrial activity is dedicated to ceramics, especially bricks and tiles.
34.
There is a much higher clay content in the soil in Australia and pitches bed down much quicker than they do in England,
35.
Brooklyn is significantly notorious for industrial pollution and sewer issues due to the high clay content in the soil causing trouble with the foundation.
36.
A 1960 study of the Fallbrook, California area correlated higher levels of avocado root rot to soils with poorer drainage and greater clay content.
37.
The ink used in them works best with a paper that has a higher clay content than found in most typing and copy paper.
38.
Analysis of soils consumed by wild birds show that they often prefer soils with high clay content, often with the smectite clay families being well-represented.
39.
There, the clay content is so high that swelling and shrinking are commonplace and the heat can dry out the soil so much it cracks.
40.
These soils are derived from igneous rocks ( including serpentine ), have high clay content, and are moderately well drained, with pH between 5 and 7.5.
