Calcisols

Calcisols accommodate soils with substantial accumulation of secondary carbonates. Calcisols are widespread in arid and semi-arid environments, often associated with highly calcareous parent materials. Many Calcisols have formerly been called Desert soils. In the United States of America most of them belong to the Calcids, and in Australia to the Calcarosols. In the Soil Map of the World (FAO–UNESCO, 1971–1981) most of them belong to the Xerosols and to a lesser extent to the Yermosols.
