Endoaquept and landscape CN
Soil profile: A representative soil profile of a Fluvaquentic Endoaquept (sandy) from Xinxing County, Guangdong Province, China (PRC-09).
Landscape: These coarse-textured soils are on floodplains and second bottoms. They occasionally flood, periodically receiving fresh sediment. They exhibit minimal horizon development.
These are the Endoaquepts that have either 0.2 percent or more organic carbon (Holocene age) at a depth of 125 cm below the mineral soil surface or an irregular decrease in organic-carbon content between a depth of 25 cm and either a depth of 125 cm below the mineral soil surface.
Endoaquepts are the Aquepts that have endosaturation. The ground water commonly fluctuates from a level near the soil surface to below a depth of 50 cm. Before they were cultivated, most Endoaquepts supported forest vegetation. Generally, Endoaquepts are nearly level, and their parent materials are typically late-Pleistocene or younger sediments.
These soils are extensive in the United States. They are on flood plains in all parts of the country, except for the coldest and the driest parts. The native vegetation is mostly water-tolerant trees and grasses. Some of these soils are used as forest, and some have been cleared and artificially drained and are used as cropland or pasture.
Xinxing County is a county of the prefecture-level city of Yunfu in Guangdong, China.
The government of China has placed great importance on work relating to agriculture, rural areas, and the rural population. Since the convening of the Sixteenth National Congress, the government has implemented a series of policies to strengthen agriculture, benefit the rural population, and enable people in rural areas to prosper and thus ensuring balanced development of urban and rural areas. These efforts have brought about remarkable advances in China's agricultural and rural development. China's grain output has grown steadily for years, and overall progress has been made in farming, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. The development of agriculture is our number one priority and the key focus of our macro-control policies.
About two-fifths of the people of Guangdong province live in villages, which remain the basic functional units in the countryside. The greatest numbers of villages are in the fertile river deltas and along the waterways. To an even greater extent, towns and cities are located in the deltas and coastal areas and along major communication lines. The most highly urbanized area within the province is the Pearl River Delta, where the great majority of the population lives in urban areas. Guangdong is a relatively highly urbanized province for China, with its largest urban agglomeration centered on Guangzhou.
