متن کاملClay mineralogy and surface charge characteristics of basaltic soils from Western Samoa
The clay mineralogy and surface charge characteristics of four basaltic soils from Western Samoa have been studied.

Infrared studies revealed the presence of trace to subordinate amounts of kaolin minerals in all the soils. The surface...
