Family name: Fine-clayey, kaolinitic, isohyperthermic, Typic Kandiustox
This is a fine textured soil with clay content of 35 60 and has an 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 representative of the great group Kandiustox which has low base saturation kandi
