Abstract

The distribution of 2:1-2:2 intergrade clays has been investigated in some podzolized soils from Norway. In some of the profiles the intergrade clay mineral appears to be concentrated in the A2 horizon; in others, where smectite is predominant in the surface horizon, the maximum accumulation of the intergrade is observed in the B2 horizon. Smectite and vermiculite have been found to be the precursors of the intergrades of the A2 and B2 horizons respectively. A possible explanation to account for the observed variable pattern of occurrence of intergrades in soils is suggested.
