Shrinkage of clay soils: A statistical correlation with other soil properties
TL;DR: In this article, the hypothesis that the shrinkage of soils is greater when expansible minerals are dominant was tested with 63 soils containing between 40 and 64% clay and it was concluded that interlamellar shrinkage is not the principal component of bulk shrinkage.

Fine-grained Micas in Soils
TL;DR: In many soils, fine-grained micas are altered to vermiculite and sometimes to smectitelike minerals and, as such, significantly increase the cation exchange capacity and affect the relative selectivity by soils for various exchangeable cations as discussed by the authors.
