你大概是在the Great Chinese Firewall的影响范围内,所以上不了维基的网页。那个网页解说“石灰”是什么东西。

石灰岩(石灰石、碳酸钙)锻烧后会有这样的化学反应:CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 前者是“碳酸钙”,后两者分别是“生石灰、氧化钙”和“二氧化碳”。

生石灰加水的化学反应:CaO+H2O→Ca(OH)2 后者是“氢氧化钙、熟石灰”。

可以想象在大自然中,石灰岩风化的土壤很自然会在生石灰和熟石灰之间变化。石灰质的土壤只是钙质土壤的一种,石灰质的土壤当然和钙质的土壤不同。

Thanks.
neutral chica nueva : IMO limestone soil = 石灰土;石灰岩土 (it refers to soil type and classification of soils in pedology); calcareous soil = 石灰性土壤/土 (包括 limestone, marl, chalk soils 等)

Thank you. My above explanation, "石灰质的土壤只是钙质土壤的一种,石灰质的土壤当然和钙质的土壤不同。 ", matches exactly what you are talking about with "calcareous soil = 石灰性土壤/土 (包括 limestone, marl, chalk soils 等)".
