Clay minerals present in fine‐textured rice soils in southern Taiwan were identified by X‐ray diffraction and chemical analyses. Dioctahedral mica with high potassium content is the predominant mineral in the clay fraction. These soil clays also contain considerable amounts of iron‐rich chlorite, smectite, and vermiculite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
