[EN]: The clay fractions of soils caracteristic of western Anclalucía and their behaviour in relation to potassium are studied, and the latter in related to the mineralogical composition of the former. Except the "fersialitico soil" (Rhocloxeralfs), the various horizons of each soil do not present distinct variations in their behaviour in relation to potassium. The "vertisol litomorfo" (chromoxererts) and «topomorfo» (Pelloxererts) soils present the highest values of Kx which agrees with the strong weathering of these soils and their nigh proportions of montmoillonite and illite. The "calcimorfo soil" (Calciorthids) is little weathered and present lower values of Kx, despite its mineralogical composition, which is analogous to the preceding soils. Similarly low values of Kx are obtained for the «aluvial soil» (Xerofluvents), also little weathered, which contains high proportion of illite, with small amounts of montmorillonite and kaolinite. The value of Kx and the proportion of illite for the leached fersialitico soil decrease and the proportion of montmorillonite increases as getting down across the profile. C horizons of soils with high podogenic development present much lower values of Kx than upper horizona, despite the analogy of their mineralogical compositions. The degree of development of soils has the highest influence on Kx, values. Treatments for removing organic matter and/or gels originate important increases in Kx values.
[ES]: Se estudia la fracción arcilla de los suelos más característicos de nuestra región y su comportamiento frente al potasio, relacionándolo con la composición mineralógica de dicha fracción. Exceptuando el suelo fersialítico, los diferentes horizontes de cada suelo no presentan variaciones importantes en su comportamiento frente al potasio. Los suelos vérticos litomorfos y vérticos topomorfos presentan los valores más altos de Kx, lo que está de acuerdo con una mayor edafización y con altas concentraciones de montmorillonita e ilita. El suelo calcimorfo, a pesar de poseer composición mineralógica simlar, está muy poco evolucionado y presenta valores más bajos de Kx, similares a los del suelo aluvial, que está asimismo poco evolucionado, con alta proporción de ilita, a la que acompañan pequeñas proporciones de montmorillonita y caolinita. En el suelo fersialítico lavado disminuye el valor de Kx, al descender en el perfil, en el mismo sentido en que disminuye la ilita y aumenta la montmorillonita. Los horizontes C de los suelos de gran desarrollo edafogenético presentan en relación con los horizontes superiores, a pesar de poseer composición mineralógica similar, valores muy pequeños de Kx. El grado de desarrollo del suelo es el que tiene mayor influencia en los valores de Kx. Los tratamientos de eliminación de materia orgánica y/o geles producen un aumento muy apreciable de los valores de Kx.
