Calcarosol AU
A representative soil profile of a Epibasic (and Epihypersodic), Pedal, Hypercalcic, Calcarosol. Original notes and photos provided by the State of Victoria (Agriculture Victoria) with revision.
Calcarosols lack strong texture contrast between surface (A) and subsoil (B) horizons. These soils are also calcareous throughout and often have accumulations of calcium carbonate (lime) in the soil profile. These soils form on calcareous, aeolian sediments of variable texture

In soil taxonomy, these soils are commonly Alfisols or some Aridisols. For more information about Soil Taxonomy, visit;
