This paper is a review of some advances in the studies on 1.4-nm intergrade mineral of soils in sub-tropical China. 1) 1.4-nm intergrade mineral occurs ubiquitously in soils of subtropical China. The 1.4-nmrnineral in red soil and yellow soil is mainly 1.4-nm intergrade mineral, and in acidic yellow-brown soil (pH< 5.5) is verniiculite alone or 1.4-nm intergrade mineral together with vermiculite. The distribution and thecontent of 1 .4-nm intergrade mineral in the mountain soils are more widespread and higher than those of thecorresponding soils in horizontal zone. 2) The interlayer material of 1.4-nin intergrade mineral ui these soilsappears to be hydroxy-Al polymers instead of hydroxy-Fe, proto-imogolite or kaolin-like material. There isa significant positive correlation between Al amount extracted from the soil with sodium citrate after DCBextraction and pH value of the citrate solution after the extraction. The citrate can also extract a certainamount of silicon from the soil, but the silicon may not come from interlayer of 1.4-nm intergrade mineral.3) It was seldom studied that either vermiculite or smectite did the natural 1.4-nm intergrade mineral comefrom in soil, or it was commonly thought to come from vermiculite. A recent report has revealed that itcan come from smectite. There are some different behaviors between the 1.4-nm intergrade mineral derivedfrom vermiculite and that from smectite. For example, they exert different influences on the formation ofgibbsite. The 1.4-nm intergrade mineral derived from smectite may promote the formation of gibbsite in theyellow soil. 4) The type of 1.4-nm minerals in soils. i.e., vermiculite or 1.4-nm intergrade mineral, may besignificant to soil properties, such as soil acidity, exchangeable Al, electric charge aiiiount and specific surfacearea. Therefore, the management for the soil in which 1.4-nm mineral is mainly 1.4-nm intergrade mineralor vermiculite should be dealt with differently.
