Eluviation

This acidic soil solution enhances the processes of eluviation and leaching causing the removal of soluble base cations and aluminum and iron compounds from the A horizon. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This layer is composed primarily of mineral particles and has two characteristics: it is the layer in which humus and other organic materials are mixed with mineral particles, and it is a zone of translocation from which eluviation has removed finer particles and soluble substances, both of which may be deposited at a lower layer. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Movements of large amounts of water through the soil cause eluviation and leaching to occur. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Common characteristics of recognition include immature development of eluviation in the A horizon and illuviation in the B horizon, and evidence of the beginning of weathering processes on parent material sediments. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The A horizon is commonly differentiated into a darker upper horizon or organic accumulation, and a lower horizon showing loss of material by eluviation. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Good drainage enhances an number of pedogenic processes of illuviation and eluviation that are responsible for the development of soil horizons. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Generally, these horizons result from the processes of chemical weathering, eluviation, illuviation, and organic decomposition. ❋ Unknown (2008)

It reduces the eluviation of soluble nutrients from the soil profile. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This soil, however, has a calcareous parent material which results in a high pH and strong eluviation of clay from the A horizon. ❋ Unknown (2008)
