Family name: Fine loamy, isohyperthermic Aeric Endoaquept
A soil that is in the incipient development towards a mature soil ept Inceptisol formed from older alluvial deposits It is a representative of the great group Endoaquept which is saturated with water for repeated periods of time manifested by presence of mottles aqu but not as wet as the typical It is better aerated as the period of saturation is shorter aeric It has a mean annual soil temperature of higher than 22C isohyperthermic
