Surface Soil Type: Clay
Family name: Fine, kaolinitic (ca.), isohyperthermic, Typic Kandiustox
This soil has fine textured and isohyperthermic temperature regime 22C It is an Oxisol ox which is an intensely weathered soil predominated by oxides from iron and aluminum due to repeated high precipitation and high temperature ust It is a typical typic representative of the great group Kandiustox It has low cation exchange capacity kandi thus has low fertility status
