Soil Data Appendices for the North East Catchment Management Region

Agricultural Resources in North East Victoria

Appendix 17. Soil Data – Kurosols and Chromosols

Kurosols

Strong texture contrast soils with strongly acid subsoils

Map of soil data for Kurosols in the North East catchment management regions

Note: These soils will often occur in association with other soils depending on factors such as climate, landform, geology, vegetation and degree of weathering.

Chromosols

Strong texture contrast soils with subsoils that are not strongly acid or sodic

Note: These soils will often occur in association with other soils depending on factors such as climate, landform, geology, vegetation and degree of weathering.

Appendix 18. Soil Data – Sodosols and Dermosols

Sodosols

Strong texture contrast soils with sodic subsoils

Note: These soils will often occur in association with other soils depending on factors such as climate, landform, geology, vegetation and degree of weathering.

Dermosols

Soils lacking strong texture contrast- and with structured subsoils

Note: These soils will often occur in association with other soils depending on factors such as climate, landform, geology, vegetation and degree of weathering.

Appendix 19. Soil Data – Kandosols and Ferrosols

Kandosols

Earthy soils lacking strong texture and with weakly structured subsoils
