Lime soil, also known as calcareous soil, is rich in calcium carbonate. This type of soil typically forms in regions with limestone bedrock and is characterized by its alkaline pH. Lime soil can improve plant growth by providing essential nutrients, particularly for crops that thrive in less acidic conditions. The presence of lime in the soil can influence its texture and drainage properties. It often supports a variety of vegetation, including grasses and certain types of trees. Farmers may amend lime soil to enhance fertility and optimize conditions for growing crops like wheat and corn.
