Hapludult KR
A representative soil profile of a Typic Hapludult from the North Star Training area in Uijeongbu, Korea.
The mid-slope area consisted of very deep, well drained, acid, loamy soils formed from materials weathered from coarse-grained granites on colluvial fans. Slope ranged from 4 to 25 percent. The soil surface was very stony/bouldery and a sandy loam. The subsoil was sandy clay loam or clay loam and extended to a depth of about 10 to 40 inches. It was underlain by stony or very stony (cobbles, stones, and boulders) sandy loam or loamy sand in a matrix from highly weathered granite saprolite (grus). A detailed pedon description and soil profile picture was taken in a tank parking area. A soil sample of the Bt was taken for CEC and particle-size. (S97FN-515-001-002). (Pedon 3) Field Classification: fine-loamy, Typic Hapludult
The central concept or Typic subgroup of Hapludults is fixed on freely drained soils that are moderately deep or deeper to hard rock. Typic Hapludults are of very large extent in the Eastern and Southeastern United States. The natural vegetation consisted of forest plants. Slopes range from nearly level to steep. Where slopes are suitable, many of these soils are used as cropland. Many of the soils, particularly those that are steep, are used as forest. Some are used as pasture or homesites.
