Cambosol and landscape CN
An Umbri-Gelic Cambosol and landscape. These soils are in cool temperate zone, and humid cool-temperate regions within mountain vertical zones. They distribute extensively under cool-temperate coniferous forest in mountain vertical zones in south-eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, northern Greater Khingan Mountains, Changbai Mountain, and Altai Mountain. Parent materials are mainly residual, slope, and moraine deposits derived from granite, sandstone and other rocks. The climate is cold and humid. Those areas have a cold and long winter as well as a short and humid summer. During the summer time, heat and moisture are both in sufficient supply, and solar radiation is long. The primary vegetation is mainly coniferous trees of pinaceae and taxodiaceae. (Photos and notes courtesy of China Soils Museum, Guangdong Institute of World Soil Resources; with revision.)
In Chinese Soil Taxonomy, Cambosols have low-grade soil development with formation of horizon of alteration or weak expression of other diagnostic horizons. In Soil Taxonomy these soils are commonly Inceptisols, Mollisols, or Gelisols.
