Examples
-
Ultisols and oxisols, found widely in the states of Lara and Falcón, are soils of low fertility, although the quality of the soils has not deterred agriculture in the area.
-
Leaching of all soluble elements of the deeply decayed rock produces Ultisols and Oxisols that are often especially rich in hydroxides of iron, magnesium, and aluminum.
-
Deep Ultisols are widespread on old lavas forming the older islands; young lavas on the younger islands are still rock.
-
Soils are strongly leached, acid Inceptisols and Ultisols.
-
Alfisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols, Spodosols (Pygmy Forest), Ultisols and Vertisols in combination with isomesic, mesic or thermic soil temperature regimes, and aquic, udic, ustic or xeric (moist end of range) soil moisture regimes.
-
Ultisols are found on ridge crests, in areas of gentle topography, and in intermountain basins.
Central Appalachian Broadleaf Forest - Coniferous Forest - Meadow Province (Bailey) 2009
-
Ultisols dominate throughout the region, with locally conspicuous Vertisols formed from marls or soft limestones.
-
As in the oceanic broadleaf forest, the soils change from Alfisols in the north to Ultisols in southerly latitudes.
Eastern Broadleaf Forest (Continental) Province (Bailey) 2009
-
Soils are mainly Ultisols, Spodosols, and Entisols.
-
It is underlain by a mix of metamorphic, igneous, and sedimentary rocks, with soils that are mostly Alfisols and some Ultisols.
