Sinbul soil series
A representative soil profile of Sinbul soil (loamy-skeletal, Typic Haplumbrept) 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 3.25 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.
Sinbul soils are in valleys on stream and river terraces. Elevation ranges from about 0 to 100 meters. The native vegetation consists of mixed deciduous hardwoods. The soils formed in old alluvial from mixed igneous and metamorphic rocks.
Soils classified as Typic Haplumbrepts have been revised to Humic Dystrudepts with the latest revision of Soil Taxonomy. These soils have an umbric or mollic epipedon that is less than 50 cm thick. They are otherwise like the soils of the Typic subgroup. Humic Dystrudepts are moderately extensive in the United States. They are widely distributed but are concentrated in the mountains of the Eastern and Northwestern 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.
