Chungcheon soil series
The typical pedon of Chungcheon soil (coarse-loamy, Typic Fluvaquent) 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 3.20 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.
Chungcheon soils are in valleys. Elevation ranges from about 5 to 150 meters. The native vegetation consists of grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs. The soils formed in alluvial from mixed igneous and metamorphic rocks on rice paddy terraces or along natural drainageways.
Typic Fluvaquents.—The concept of Typic Fluvaquents is centered almost exclusively on very young water-laid deposits that are mostly in wet areas on flood plains. These soils show too little evidence of alteration. Redoximorphic features in the soils extend downward from a point very close to the surface, and the water table is at or close to the surface most of the year unless artificial drainage has been provided. Most Typic Fluvaquents are nearly level, and their parent materials are Holocene sediments. Many support forest vegetation, but most support shrub or grassy vegetation.
