Samples of hundred ten soil profiles of Tensift Al Haouz area were characterized. Five forms of calcrete have been identified. The results suggest two main modes of calcrete genesis. A correlation of calcrete development with regional paleoclimate data was conducted. The main factors controlling calcrete formation were determined.
