Mollisol is a soil type which has deep, high organic matter, nutrient-enriched surface soil (), typically between 60 and 80 cm (24-31 in) in depth.This fertile surface horizon, called a mollic epipedon, is the defining diagnostic feature of Mollisols.
Mollisols, shown here in dark green, are a good (though not the only) indicator of high soil fertility. They coincide to a large extent with the world's major grain producing areas like the North American Prairie States, the Pampa and Gran Chaco of South America and the Ukraine -to-Central Asia Black Earth belt.
Indiangrass thrives in deep, moist, prairie soils, woodland edges and bottomland habitats. In addition to its value as livestock and wildlife forage, Native Americans utilized Indiangrass as ...
Mollisols: prairie soils formed from calcareous and colluvial parent material, with a dark surface horizon; and; Vertisols: dark clay soils formed typically from basic rocks. In the upper catchment, the dominant soils are Mollisols, Entisols, and Vertisols; the lower catchment soils are predominantly Vertisols, Entisols, and Inceptisols.

The Lafayette Loess Plains had coastal prairie natural vegetation similar to the Northern Humid Gulf Coastal Prairies (34a), but are capped with a loess veneer associated with the Mississippi Valley. Well to poorly drained Alfisols and Mollisols with silt loam surface textures developed on the late Pleistocene-age terraces.
Highly oxidized red soil in Tirunelveli District, India. Red colors often indicate iron accumulation or oxidation in oxygen-rich, well-aerated soils. [4] Iron concentrations caused by redox reactions because of diffusion of iron in crystalline and metermorphic rock, in periodically saturated soils may also present red colors, particularly along root channels or pores.
Earlier this week, Musk proposed abolishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. “Delete CFPB. There are too many duplicative regulatory agencies,” he wrote on his social media platform, X.
