Dystrudept CN
A representative soil profile of a Typic Dystrudept in China.
The central concept or Typic subgroup of Dystrudepts is fixed on soils that are moderately deep or deep to hard rock, are freely drained and acid, have an ochric epipedon, and do not have any intermittent argillic, natric, or kandic horizon. In addition, the percentage of organic carbon of Holocene age decreases regularly with increasing depth and is very low at a depth of 125 cm. Typic Dystrudepts are extensive in the United States. They are widely distributed. 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.
