High levels of carbonate are generally confined to south-eastern areas of the Emirate. The interpretation for ‘Carbonate Source’ evaluates the probability of finding soil containing calcium carbonate. The ratings are for soils in their natural condition. Present land use is not considered. Calcium carbonate is mainly used in the construction industry. The assessment for carbonate source was based on the presence/absence method. The presence of carbonate in soil components of map units was based on their taxonomic classification.</SPAN></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> Created by Environment Agency Abu Dhabi as part of the Abu Dhabi Soil Survey project.
