Cambosol and landscape CN
An Aqui-Gelic Cambosol and landscape. These soils distribute oddly in valley plains on plateau, as well as in part of both sides of river valley, valley plain and terraces, as well as depressive flatland of Sanjiang Plain and Songhuajiang-nenjiang Plain. All those areas are with cryic soil temperatue regime and aquic moisture regime. Parent materials are alluvial and lacustrine deposits. Presence of a seasonally frozen layer, and water above the frozen layer create good conditions for the growth of meadow plants and development of these soils. (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. (Photos and notes courtesy of China Soils Museum, Guangdong Institute of World Soil Resources; with revision.)
