Cambosol and landscape CN
A Hapli-Udic Cambosol and landscape. These soils mainly distribute in low mountains and hills in warm temperate zone, and vertical zones on middle mountains in north-subtropical zone. Parent materials are weathered materials, mostly residual-slope deposits, originated from sandstone, shale, granite, gneiss and andesite, etc. Native vegetation is deciduous broad leaf forest , or mixed deciduous broad leaf and coniferous forest. However, the present time vegetation is mostly secondary forest and shrubs. In addition, a few dry croplands or deciduous fruit trees are also found. Hapli-Udic Cambosols refer to a group of Udic Cambosols except Boric, Carbonatic,, purplic, Alic,Ferric, and Acidic groups. (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.
