Definition
This term quantifies the fraction of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) in soil, indicating its lime content. Calcium carbonate acts as a pH buffer, neutralizing soil acidity and enhancing nutrient availability. High levels improve soil structure and aggregate stability, making it especially valuable for acidic soils. Source: FAO Soil Bulletin.
