The USDA soil taxonomy [16] and the Chinese soil taxonomy [17] call these soils Spodosols. [18] The Canadian system of soil classification matches Podzols with soils under the Podzolic order (e.g. Humo-Ferric Podzol). [19] [20] The Australian Soil Classification [21] uses the term Podosols. The Brazilian Soil Classification System [22] calls ...
In the World Reference Base for Soil Resources, [1] these soils are called Umbrisols, and the Soil Atlas of Europe [2] shows a preponderance of this kind of soil in north-west Spain. There is a tendency for the soils to occur in oceanic areas, where there is abundant rainfall throughout the year, winters are mild and summers relatively cool.
Charlottetown soil series is the name given to a deep fine sandy loam soil which has developed under forest vegetation on glacial till. This series occurs only on Prince Edward Island , where it is widespread and so important for agriculture that it has been designated as the Provincial Soil.
Podzol soil monolith with inconspicuous eluviation; coarse granular structure of top mineral horizon (Ahe or Ap) is evidence of earthworm invasion. These acid soils have a B horizon containing accumulations of amorphous materials composed of humified organic matter associated with aluminum and iron. They develop most commonly in sandy materials ...
It belongs to the podzol soil group and is one of the most important soils in its area of occurrence, supporting extensive forests and a fair number of farms. Many Berkshire soils lack the eluvial (E) horizon characteristic of podzols because they have a history of being cleared for cultivation.
Plaggen soil or plaggic anthrosol [1] is a type of soil created in parts of northwest Europe [2] in the Middle Ages, as a result of so-called "plaggen" agriculture on marginal podzol soils. In order to fertilize the fields , pieces of heath or grass including roots and humus ("plaggen") were cut and used as bedding for cattle or sheep.
It is not the same as soil family from USDA Soil Taxonomy. Examples can be: granitoid, basalt, amphibolite, sandstone, limestone (with specified period of formation), gypsum, glacial till, sandur sand, loess and others. [1] Sizes of soil particles and texture of soil material are very similar to USDA classification.
