Kandiustult
A soil profile of a Kandiustult in Zambia. This soil has a reddish yellow kandic horizon beginning at a depth of about 20 centimeters.(Soil Survey Staff. 2015. Illustrated guide to Soil Taxonomy. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Kandiustults have a kandic (very low cation-exchange capacity) subsoil horizon. They have a clay distribution in which the percentage of clay does not decrease from its maximum amount by as much as 20% within a depth of 150 cm. The natural vegetation consisted of forest. Many of the soils have been cleared and are used as cropland or pasture.
