Gypsum soils are both a problem and a puzzle, which is precisely why they deserve
attention. Gypseous (high-gypsum) soils generally occupy sparsely populated land with …

This paper reviews the main methodologies and techniques that have been used to
characterize gypsum in soils, especially in gypsiferous soils of semiarid and arid regions …

This study examined pedogenesis, as well as the clay mineralogy of soil and rock samples
obtained from a transect of gypsiferous and calcareous materials. The main objectives of this …

Soil sulfates are present in arid and hyperarid environments on Earth and have been found
to be abundant in soils on Mars. Examination of soil gypsum from the Atacama Desert, Chile …

Abstract The Qaidam Basin, located in the northern Tibetan Plateau, is one of the three
largest interior basins in China. It is surrounded by Kunlun, Altun and Qilian mountains with …

Late Quaternary soils in southern New Mexico support previous work that suggested
pedogenic gypsum accumulates in successive stages as a function of time, similar to …

Aridisols occupy a wide and significant part of Jordan. The majority of soils in the Azraq
Basin, northeastern Jordan, are aridisols. A database on aridisols and land characteristics in …

Most of gypsum-enriched soils in Isfahan and neighboring provinces occur on alluvial fans,
dissected flood plains (old dissected alluvium) and piedmont plains. Herein we investigate …

Las Vegas Wash drains the Las Vegas Basin in Nevada by capturing a series of tributaries
and ending in Lake Mead and is being developed into an urban wetland. The soils are part …

Gypsiferous soils occur in xeric, ustic, and aridic moisture regimes. Environmental conditions
affect the mode of gypsum formation. Gypsiferous soils in Fars Province, southern Iran, are …
