Primosols and landscape CN
A Udic-Orthic Primosols and landscape. These soils distribute in the humid regions of temperate, subtropical, and tropical areas and are mainly on the top ,steep slope or eroded sites of hills. They are developed on residual parent materials derived from a variety of weathered rocks. The climatic conditions of their distribution areas differ greatly from each other, resulting in various soil moisture regimes: udic and perudic, or various soil temperature regimes: frigic, mesic, thermic and hyperthermic. They are mostly covered with trees and grass shrub. (Photos and notes courtesy of China Soils Museum, Guangdong Institute of World Soil Resources; with revision.)
In Chinese Soil Taxonomy, Primosols are recent soils with no diagnostic horizons or only an ochric epipedon. In Soil Taxonomy these soils are mostly Entisols or some Gelisols.
