Solonchak

...When alkali-soluble black humic acid accumulates on the soil surface, it turns black and is called black alkali soil or solonets soil, and sometimes refers to these two. White saline soils are also commonly called white alkali soil or solonchak, but many soils have a weak alkalinity of pH 7.0 to 8.0, and not all white alkali soils fall into the category of alkaline soil.
