Ideas in this flowchart

  • Soil colloids consist of four main categories that collectively influence soil chemistry.
  • Crystalline silicate clays, or phyllosilicates
  • Poorly crystalline silicates
  • Oxides and hydroxides
  • Organic colloids
  • The categories differ in composition, shape, charge, water retention, nutrient retention, and environmental distribution.
  • Together, the categories control many chemical properties of soil.
