Expansive clay, also called expansive soil, is a clay soil prone to large volume changes (swelling and shrinking) directly related to changes in water content. [1] Soils with a high content of expansive minerals can form deep cracks in drier seasons or years; such soils are called vertisols.

Age and origin of the source material determine the chemical structure of humic substances. In general, humic substances derived from soil and peat (which takes hundreds to thousands of years to form) have higher molecular weight, higher amounts of O and N, more carbohydrate units, and fewer polyaromatic units than humic substances derived from ...
Due to the physical and chemical properties of some clays [4] (such as the Lias Group) large swelling occurs when water is absorbed. Conversely when the water dries up these clays contract (shrink). The presence of these clay minerals is what allows soils to have the capacity to shrink and swell.
Most research on anthropogenic soils describes specific aspects of their biology, chemistry or physical properties, cultural heritage and human geography, erosion, wastes, pollution, fertilizer management, and taxonomy. Very few of them, [3] [4] [5] try to answer to the question: How fast do they start pedogenesis (viz., differentiating horizons)?
Mollisols of the world Mollisols are generally associated with the steppe biome. Mollisol is a soil type which has deep, high organic matter, nutrient-enriched surface soil (), typically between 60 and 80 cm (24-31 in) in depth.
Argillipedoturbation, sometimes referred to as self-mulching, is a process of soil mixing caused by the shrinking and swelling of the smectite clays contained in soil. [1] [2] It is an effect specific to soils of the vertisolic variety, and is triggered by the constant cycles of wetting and drying [1] It is characterized by wide (up to 2 centimetres (0.79 in)), deep (50 centimetres (20 in) or ...
