24 CONCLUSION 16 - Qualitative agreement is not sufficient to provide an accurate structural characterization of mixed layers clay minerals - XRD full-profile fitting combined to size fractionation is the optimum way to quantitatively determine soil clay mineralogy including i) the finest and most reactive fraction and ii) mixed layers minerals - Cross-constraints from the modelling of different size fractions and multispecimen approach are essential to the validity of the model. Additional constraints from usual sample processing are needed too. - The proposed approach provides key information on the nature of clay mineral phases present, on their proportions, on their crystal chemistry - This information provides essential constraints on the parent material, on (paleo-) conditions of formation, on pedogenetic processes, on the impact of plant nutrition, on soil chemical and physical properties, etc BIBLIOGRAPHY Bakker, E., Hubert, F., Wander, M. & Lanson, B.
