Vermicomposting converts fly ash to enrich soil fertility and sustain crop growth in red and
lateritic soils. Resour.
In general, the macrostructure of
lateritic soils depends on the laterization and weathering processes (Miguel and Bonder, 2012).
The quartz fibers were set in the reactor to support the
lateritic soils. The gaseous mixture composed of 1% [H.sub.2]S, 25% CO, 15% [H.sub.2], and a balance of [N.sub.2] from regulation cylinders.
The formations encountered from the surface to the depth were various lateritic formations (
lateritic soils, laterites) with high resistivity values (> 2000 Ohm.m), a gneissic weathered/fractured arena with low resistivity values (< 850 Ohm.m) which represents the aquifer formation and the gneissic basement.
For example, Chisholm's Wattle (Acacia chisolmii, [C.sub.3] plant, [N.sub.2]-fixing legume shrub) and Spinifex (Triodia spp., [C.sub.4] grass) are two keystone native plant species widely present on stony and
lateritic soils in the colluvial and well drained land of Mt Isa region (North-west, Queensland, Australia) (Specht and Specht 1999; Fox et al.

The Pinus cubensis, simply called Pino, grows in the mountains of northeastern Cuba, over higher rainy slopes covered with red
lateritic soils. Its thickets mixed with tropical forests create some fabulous, though vulnerable, landscapes.
1c) showed loamy sand and sandy loam A horizons over B horizons typical of
lateritic soils, which texture as sandy-loam to sandy clay loam when finely ground but in their native state are cemented with sesquioxides and contain dense ironstone gravel layers (>60% v/v) at the upper margin of the B horizon.
The
lateritic soils become compact and harden, so that after only a few years of cultivation such areas are as hard as concrete and further cultivation or revegetation is impossible.
