Udorthent KR
A representative Typic Udorthent from North Star Training Area, Uijeongbu, Korea. The lower-slope area consisted of cut and fill material from the colluvial fan. The area was used as a rifle range and training facility. The soil surface was sparsely vegetated and was moderately compacted. The landscape was a series on broad level benches with short, very steep back slopes.
The central concept or Typic subgroup of Udorthents is fixed on soils that are shallow to weakly cemented rock or deep or moderately deep to rock and that have deep ground water and low animal activity. Many of these soils formed in mine spoil or fill material. Some have a densic contact with compacted layers of soil materials. Typic Udorthents do not have, in the upper 75 cm, a deposit of pyroclastic materials that is as thick as 18 cm. These soils are used mostly as building sites or are idle.
