Gypsiferous Aridisols are of great importance and extent in arid and semi-arid environments. There is a close relationship between soil genesis and landscape positions. This study aimed to determine the genesis and classification of gypsiferous soils and to investigate the relationship between micro-and macro-morphology of gypsum crystals and geomorphic positions in Rafsanjan area. The study ar...

Gypsum is the most common sulfate mineral in soils of arid and semi-arid regions. Two hundred million hectares of the earth’s surface and about 28 million hectares of Iranian arid soils are covered by gypsiferous soils. The studied soils consist of alluvial plane and eolian plains in northern Iran. Soils were classified as Haplocambids, Aquisalids and Endoaquepts. In this study, genesis, format...

  Gypsum affects many physical, chemical and mineralogical properties which in turn influences management, classification and sutability of the soils. This is the reason why accurate measurement of gypsum in soil is very important. In most of the soil science laboratories, the method of acetone ,in spite of its too much limitation, is being used as a standard method. The purpose of this researc...
