It contains soil types, such as podzols, chernozems, brown earths, chestnut soils, etc., familiar to many people. |
However, in the riparian soils the soil type ranges rather from gleyic podzols to histosols. |
In the study of radiata pine stands by Florence and Lamb, litter accumulation was greater on sandy podzols than on finer textured soils, despite similar rates of litter input. |
Soils, such as podzols, which are zonal in some parts of the world might be intrazonal in other areas. |
Many brunisols have brownish B horizons without much evidence of clay accumulation, as in luvisols, or amorphous materials, as in podzols. |
The soil is derived from podzols, with a sandy surface layer and clay at 1 m depth. |
