Parent Material ¾¾¾¾¾¾¾® Soil
Entisol - rich in primary mineral relics
Mollisol - rich in 2:1 phyllosilicate clay minerals and OM
Vertisol - 2:1 minerals with high shrink-swell
Alfisol (with a duripan) - increased weathering but 2:1 minerals still dominate; 1:1 minerals are creeping in, however.
(California State Soil) Alfisol (California State Soil) Durixeralf
Ultisol - 1:1 minerals and ‘oxides’ now are becoming a dominant feature
Oxisol - Oxides of Al and Fe dominate the soil profile
Andisol - volcanic ash
Spodosol - evidence of the role O.M. and climate have on soil development
