Abstract/Description: | In view of lack of precise information on the factors and processes in clay illuviation, pedoturbation and slickenside formation in shrink-swell soils, a study on a <100 years old shrink-swell soil (Vertic Haplustalf) of Central India was undertaken. The soil has typical physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of Vertisols but lack in slickensides. Detailed physical, chemical and micromorphological data indicate the presence of argillic horizon characterized by impure clay pedofeatures in voids and poorly separated plasma. The study proves a fact that clay illuviation is more important pedogenetic process than pedoturbation. A time of a century is not adequate for the formation of slickensides that are hitherto considered to be a rapid pedogenetic process for structure formation in Vertisols. The study suggests a highly probable pathway for the formation of Vertisols with time from Vertic Alfisols in sub-humid and semi-arid climatic conditions of central India. |
