Daeheung soil and landscape SK
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of Daeheung soil in Korea.
Landscape: The Daeheung soils occur on mountain foot slopes. They are derived from colluvial materials of the granite, granite gneiss and schist rocks. Dominant slopes are 7 to 15 percent and slopes range from 2 to 30 percent.
The Daeheung series are members of the fine-loamy, mixed, mesic family of Typic Hapludults [Cutanic Alisols (Alumic Hyperdystric Chromic) classified by WRB].
These soils have ochric epipedons and argillic horizons. Solum thickness ranges from 50 to 100 cm and depth to hard rock is more than 3 meters. Base saturation is less than 35 percent. 10 to 35 percent slightly weathered gravels and cobbles occur in the solum. A horizons are brown, dark yellowish brown, or yellowish brown gravelly loam or silt loam. Bt horizons are brown or yellowish red gravelly to cobbly loam or clay loam. C horizons are brown, yellowish red, or yellowish brown gravelly to cobbly loam or clay loam.
The Daeheung soils are well drained and moderate or moderately slow permeable. Runoff is medium depending on the slope gradient.
Most of these soils are used for upland crops such as barley, soybean, tobacco, mulberry and vegetables. A few areas are wooded growing pine trees.
