Evaluation of the microclimate and pedoclimate of these truffle beds has been rare ... From the chemical point of view the soil is calcareous, with a sub-alkaline (pH > 7.6) reaction and with a good supply of organic matter. From the physical point of view, it is permeable, so there is no stagnant water, and it is well-aerated. It has abundant interconnected macropores, an apparent density of about 1.1 and the texture guarantees a good moisture content in all seasons: The pedoclimate is udic. 1, record 3, English, - pedoclimate
