cemented Applied to massive, infilled, and indurated mineral soil: such soil has a hard and often brittle consistency because soil particles are joined together by cementing substances, e.g. calcium carbonate, silica, iron and aluminium oxide, or humus. Cemented soil usually appears as a highly distinctive and resistant horizon. Compare CEMENT; and CEMENTATION.
