Have you ever noticed the numbers of Cedar trees near the limestone quarries around B'ham and Shelby County. Cedar trees thrive in high-lime soils. If you've ever hunted some of the Blackbelt Counties....especially Lowndes and Dallas....you'll see acre plus patches of nothing but Cedars growing unlike anywhere in the state. That's why farmers in those Counties don't have to "Lime the Soil----EVER" 'cause it's already there....naturally and thus the soils aren't Acidic like they are here in Chambers County. Now that's a FACT....ask anybody who lives there. I'm not sure how far you made it in School....But You seem to not have the Cranial Capacity to understand the Geological make-up of the various areas of the State of Alabama.
