Meaning of "calcigenous" in English

"Calcigenous" refers to soils or environments rich in calcium carbonate. It is often used in agricultural and geological contexts to describe terrains or soils that are naturally derived from materials containing calcium. These soils are typically fertile and support a distinct range of plant life accustomed to higher pH levels. When discussing calcigenous environments, it's crucial to consider the implications for plant growth and ecosystem dynamics. This term is predominantly applied in scientific discussions related to soil chemistry and environmental studies.

Meaning of "calcigenous" in French

In French, "calcigenous" similarly denotes soils or terrains abundant in calcium compounds, particularly calcium carbonate. The term is used in environmental sciences and agriculture to describe soils that are naturally enriched with calcium, often influencing the type of vegetation that can thrive in such areas. These soils generally exhibit higher alkalinity, which can affect plant nutrition and soil management strategies. Just like in English, "calcigenous" in French is primarily utilized within scientific and technical contexts related to soil chemistry and ecology.
