Yesan soil series
The typical pedon of Yesan soil (coarse-loamy, Typic Dystrochrept) from the MPRC (Multi-Purpose Range Complex) in South Korea. MPRC also known as Rodriguez Range at Yeongpyeong-ri, north of Pocheon, South Korea supports units of the 2nd Infantry Division for helicopter, Bradley Fighting Vehicle, M1 Abrams tank, artillery, mortor, and close air support training. The image is illustration 3.5 from the Planning Level Survey, 8th US Army Korea (1998). The primary purpose of planning level surveys are to ensure Army activities and natural resources conservation measures on mission land are integrated and consistent with federal stewardship requirements and host nation agreements.
Yesan soils are on immediate hills. Elevation ranges from about 100 to 400 meters. The native vegetation is mixed deciduous hardwood forest. The soils formed in material weathered from granite. The land is primarily forested.
Typic Dystrochrepts.—The central concept or Typic subgroup of Dystrochrepts is fixed on soils that are moderately deep or deep to hard rock, are freely drained and acid. Typic Dystrochrepts are extensive in the United States. They are widely distributed in the US. The largest concentration is in the Northeastern States. The native vegetation consists mostly of mixed forest. Most of these soils are used as forest. Many of the less sloping soils have been cleared and are used as cropland or pasture.
NOTE: Dystrochrepts have been revised to "Dystrudepts" in the latest version of Soil Taxonomy.
