Sódio e magnésio em Braun-Blanquet (1932)

The climatically conditioned saline soils of deserts and desert steppes are distinguished from edaphically conditioned saline soils by greater dryness and by predominance of sulphates and carbonates, especially the sulphates of sodium and magnesium (Na₂SO₄,MgSO₄). The amount of tabic salt, NaCl, falls off somewhat in desert soils, while soda, Na₂CO₃, sometimes appears in large proportions. (Braun-Blanquet 1932:191)
