abstract:
This preliminary note considers 19 profiles of Sardinian soils developed on hard limestone,
dolomitic limestone and dolomite of different age and territorial condition, reporting on the
description of the profiles and their physical, chemical and mineralogical characteristics. The
results indicate that the soils examined belong to xeric subgroups of three orders: Entisols,
Inceptisols and Alfisols.
All the profiles show a clay texture and the clayey constituents are related to the degree of soil
evolution.
