PRC-04 Typic Kanhapludult: Site 4 landscape over pit

A representative soil profile of a Typic Kanhapludult in China.

 

The central concept of the Typic subgroup of Kanhapludults is fixed on freely drained soils that are more than 50 cm deep to a lithic contact.

 

Typic Kanhapludults are of large extent in the Southeastern United States. The natural vegetation consisted of forest plants. Slopes range from nearly level to steep. Where slopes are suitable, many of the soils are used as cropland. The steeper soils are used as forest. Some of the soils are used as pasture or homesites.
