a)Base saturation percentage: the extent to which the adsorption complex of a soil is saturated with exchangeable cations other than Hydrogen and Aluminum. It is expressed as a percentage of the total cation exchange capacity.
b)Bioaugmentation: The clean-up of contaminated soils by adding exotic microorganisms that is especially efficient at breaking down an organic contaminant.
c)Cat clays: Wet clay soils high in reduced forms of Sulphur that, upon being drained, becomes extremely acid because of oxidation of the Sulphur compounds and the formation of Sulphuric acid. Usually found in Tidal marshes.
