Garden with Insight v1.0 Help: micelle


A micelle is any small charged particle. Usually soil micelles are made of clay or organic matter. Most soil micelles have large negative charges (and so can be called polyanions) and cation exchange takes place on their surfaces. In some highly weathered tropical soils, the soil micelles are positively charged and attract anions instead of cations.
