Haploxerept TN
A soil profile of a Haploxerept in Tunisia. This soil has a reddish brown cambic horizon between depths of about 10 and 60 cm. (Soil Survey Staff. 2015. Illustrated guide to Soil Taxonomy. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Soil Survey Center, Lincoln, Nebraska)
Haploxerepts are calcareous at some depth or have high base saturation. They are relatively high in natural fertility. Some of the soils have an accumulation of calcium carbonate in the subsoil. Haploxerepts are moist through winter and into spring but are thoroughly dry for much of the summer. Slopes are gentle to very steep, and the soils are shallow to very deep. The most common vegetation on Haploxerepts in the United States was coniferous forest on the cooler sites and grass and widely spaced trees on the warmer sites. Haploxerepts occur in the western United States and are moderately extensive.
