Soil Classification Introduction Why we classify soils

Alfisols!!!!!!!!!!!!. Develop in semiarid to moist areas Primarily forested soils They have clay and nutrient rich sub-soils that hold and supply.

Ultisols!!! Red clay soils. Very Similar to Alfisols However, they are highly weathered Low nutrient value Have undergone a great deal of leaching.

 Commonly have dark organic surface layer and mineral layer underlain by permafrost.  A lot of times they have slow decomposition resulting in a peat.
