The granite type governs the weathering intensity and carbon stocks in soils.
•
Granite type is as important as the climate in determining soil properties.
•
The higher the proportion of mafic minerals in granites, the higher the clay and iron contents in their derived soils
•
Granites differ in mineralogy composition and thus in the composition of soils developed in their regoliths.
