WHAT DOES CALCICOLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

calcicole

Calcicole

A calcicole, calciphyte or calciphile is a plant that thrives in lime rich soil. The word is derived from the Latin 'to dwell on chalk'. Under acidic conditions, aluminium becomes more soluble and phosphate less. As a consequence, calcicoles grown on acidic soils often develop the symptoms of aluminium toxicity, i.e. necrosis, and phosphate deficiency, i.e. anthocyanosis and stunting. A plant that thrives in acid soils is known as a calcifuge. A plant thriving on sand is termed psammophilic or arenaceous.
