Microbial symbiont with grasses Arbuscular mycorrhizae
Microbial symbiont with Azolla Anabaena
Microbial symbiont with pine trees Ectomycorrhizae
Microbial symbiont with Lichen blue-green alga
Microbial symbiont with actinorhizal plants Frankia
Microbial symbiont with leguminous plants Rhizobium
Ochric Pale, thin, low in organic C
Natric accumulation of silicate clays and <15% of exchangeable Na
Umbric similar to mollic but has a lower base cation saturation
Histic organic material (20-60cm) overlying mineral soil
Spodic accumulation of illuvial humus and aluminum oxides
Kandic accumulation of Fe and Al oxides and kaolinite
Oxic highly weathered, high in Fe and Al oxides and kaolinite, humid tropical regions
Albic light colored eluvial horizon, Fe and Al oxides have been removed
Xeric Cool, moist winters and warm dry summers with drought conditions. “Mediterranean” climate
Aridic Soil dry for at least half the growing season and moist for <90 consecutive days.
Ustic Soil moisture intermediate between Udic and Aridic. Some plant available water during growing season but drought may occur.
Udic Soil moisture is sufficient for plant needs year-round
Aquic Soil is saturated with water and anaerobic for long enough to show soil indicators of poor aeration
subordinate horizon designation "p" plowed
subordinate horizon designation "t" accumulation of clay
subordinate horizon designation "h" concentration of humus
subordinate horizon designation "k" accumulation of carbonates
subordinate horizon designation "g" gleyed -prolonged wetness
Histosol • Layered organic materials •Cool, wet environments at high latitudes or in wetlands • Histic epipedon* • No permafrost
Entisol • Little or no horizon development • Characteristics reflect varied parent materials • Very dry or cool climates, unstable landscape positions, or resistant parent material
Andisol • Form in recent (5,000 – 10,000 yrs) volcanic ejecta •Generally high in natural fertility • Easily wind eroded
Inceptisol • Beginning horizon development • Often found in mountainous areas
Aridisol • Arid climates • Ochric A • Often CaCO3 or Na salt accumulations • May have Bt formed during wet climate
Vertisol • High content of shrinking/swelling clays • Ca and Mg rich parent materials • Contain ‘slickenslides’ - smooth surfaces created as the subsoil masses move past each other and smear the clay. • Fertile; high CEC; high OM
Mollisol • Highly fertile soils of grasslands • Mollic A • Bt (argillic) • Often calcic (Ck) horizons
Alfisol • Form mainly under deciduous forests • Ochric A horizon • Often E horizon • Argillic horizon (Bt)
Ultisol • Form on old stable land surfaces • Usually tropical forest vegetation • Warm humid climate • Umbric or ochric A; Bt; often E
Spodosol • Form in sandy materials under coniferous forests • Usually in wet, cool climates • Albic and spodic horizons
Oxisol • Most highly weathered soils • Form in hot, humid climates • Oxic B • Low natural fertility and high soil acidity
Immobilization ammonium-N and nitrate-N are incorporated into living tissue
Mineralization releases soluble nitrogen as the result of the breakdown of nitrogen-rich organic compounds
Nitrification NH4 is changed to NO3 by bacteria
Volatilization loss of N by the conversion of NH4 to N gas
Denitrification reduction of NO3 to nitrogen gas by microorganisms occurring under anaerobic conditions
