Clay minerals identified in soils of Costa Rica from 1931 to 2014: I. History, methods of analyses, and mayor clay types found in volcanic ash derived soils

Findings in a total of 84 research papers identifying clay minerals on 520 soil samples of Costa Rica are summarized. This review emphasizes on the clay minerals described in the topsoil samples, although clay minerals in the B horizons are also discussed when they are different to predominant miner...

description Findings in a total of 84 research papers identifying clay minerals on 520 soil samples of Costa Rica are summarized. This review emphasizes on the clay minerals described in the topsoil samples, although clay minerals in the B horizons are also discussed when they are different to predominant mineralogy in the topsoil. Sites where soil clays information is available were geo-referenced, to observe their geographical distribution. In general most of the country possesses soil clays identified, except for the Nicoya Peninsula, the Northern Zone, and the Eastern Talamanca Range. Clay mineralogy suites (“predominant clay groups”) were grouped as: (1) vitrous-amorphous-halloysitic (Andisols and other soils with andic properties; (2) smectites and interstratified clays (Vertisols and other soils with vertic properties); (3) oxides- hidroxides-oxihidroxides-kaolinite-gibbsite (Alfisols, Ultisols and Oxisols); Plus a large area of soils with mixed clay mineralogy, found in places with little or no development (Entisols and Inceptisols). The soil clay genesis of the main clay types in the country is discussed when enough information was available.

La discusión se basa principalmente en la mineralo- gía de arcilla de los horizontes superficiales del suelo, aunque se menciona la mineralogía de los horizontes B cuando ésta es diferente a la de los horizontes A de manera relevante. Después de ubicar los datos puntuales en un mapa del país, se encontró que algunas áreas cuentan con poca o ninguna información (península de Nicoya, Zona Norte y región este de la Cordillera de Talamanca). Para el área restante la información disponible se agrupó por mineralogías de “arcilla dominante”, identificándose las mineralogías: (1) vidrio-amorfo-halloysítica (Andisoles y otros suelos con características ándicas); (2) esmectítica y de arcillas interestratificadas (Vertisoles y otros suelos con características vérticas); (3) óxidos-hidróxidos-oxihidróxidos-caolinita-gibbsita (Alfisoles, Ultisoles y Oxisoles); además de una serie importante de mineralogías mixtas en suelos de poco o ningún desarrollo edáfico (Entisoles e Inceptisoles). En el texto se discute la génesis (procesos de formación) de los principales tipos de arcilla del país, cuando se contó con suficiente información para ello.Universidad de Costa Rica2014-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleArtículoartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/agrocost/article/view/1516010.15517/rac.v38i1.15160Agronomía Costarricense; Agronomía Costarricense: Vol. 38, Issue 1 (January-June)Agronomía Costarricense; Agronomía Costarricense: Vol. 38, Nº 1 (Enero-junio)2215-22020377-942410.15517/rac.v38i1reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/agrocost/article/view/15160/14474Derechos de autor 2016 Agronomía Costarricensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0acceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-04-08T15:49:40Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/15160Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:33:47.687Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
