Abstract

Soil genesis and classification studies were carried out on the selected soils of arid and semiarid areas of Fars Province, where calcic, gypsic and salic horizons can be found either individually or in combination. In the study areas, soils with a calcic horizon are widespread, while gypsic and salic horizons occupy smaller areas. In calcic horizons, solution followed by in situ repreciption is proposed to explain the formation of pedogenic carbonates. In gypsic horizons, bounded crystals were recognized as the major pedogenic form of gypsum. Pedogenic gypsum accumulation in these soils is presumably due to two simultaneous processes include (i) in situ solution during wet seasons / transportation / recrystalization during dry seasons; and (ii) capillary rise. The upward and downward movements of soil water caused greater accumulation of pedogenic gypsum in subsurface horizons. In some areas, where there is a high amount of gypsum in the parent material of soils, upward movement of the soluble salts from saline shallow ground water provided these soils with the characteristics of salic horizons in the gypsic horizons formed at soil surface or subsurface. In the study area the presence of relatively higher illite and chlorite confirms weak weathering condition in the soils. On the other hand, in the calcareous soils having a high amount of gypsum, formation of palygorskite can be attributed to transformation of other clay minerals as a pedogenic process.
