WHAT DOES PEDOCAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Pedocal

Pedocal is a subdivision of the zonal soil order. It is a class of soil which forms in semiarid and arid regions. It is rich in calcium carbonate and has low soil organic matter. With only a thin A horizon, and intermittent precipitation calcite, other soluble minerals ordinarily removed by water may build up in the B horizon forming a cemented layer known as caliche. It is not used in the current United States system of soil classification but the term commonly shows up in college geology texts.
