Vertisols are found between 50°N and 45°S of the equator. Major areas where vertisols are dominant are eastern Australia (especially inland Queensland and New South Wales), the …

Vertisols are are clayey soils that have deep, wide cracks for some time during the year. They shrink as they dry and swell as they become moist. The natural vegetation is predominantly …

Vertisols are dark-coloured soils (though they have only moderate humus content) that may also be characterized by salinity and well-defined layers of calcium carbonate or gypsum. They are …

Vertisols (from Latin verto, "turn") are clay-rich soils that shrink and swell with changes in moisture content. During dry periods, the soil volume shrinks and deep wide cracks form. The soil …

Vertisols are clay -rich soils that undergo significant vertical cracking during the dry seasons. Typically forming under grassland vegetation in basin or rolling hill landscapes, they are best …

Vertisols are churning heavy clay soils with a high proportion of swelling clays. These soils form deep wide cracks from the surface downward when they dry out, which happens in most …

Vertisols are soils with a high content of clay minerals that shrink and swell as they change water content. The clay minerals adsorb water and increase in volume (swell) when wet and then …

Vertisols occur dominantly in level landscapes under climates with a pronounced dry season. Vast areas are found in Australia, India, northeastern Africa (Sudan, Ethiopia), southern Latin …

Vertisols are a specific soil type characterized by the dominant presence of smectite clays, displaying a strong shrinking–swelling capacity under repeated dry–wet seasonal cycles …

Vertisols are clayey soils, which have deep, wide cracks on some occasions during the year and slickensides within 100 cm of the soil surface. They shrink when dry and swell when …
