Summary

[edit]
Description This profile was photographed in Zambia, Africa. The soil is formed in limestone derived sediment on a nearly level slope. The site has been used as cropland for many years and there is no record of natural vegetation. The surface Ap horizon (0-18 cm) is clay loam in texture below which clay content increases to between 50 and 60 percent to a depth of 180 cm. Organic carbon content exceeds 1 percent from the surface to a depth of 70 cm. Base saturation percentage (CEC7) exceeds 60 percent throughout the entire profile. The main crops grown are maize, sorghum, soybeans, beans, cotton and sunflowers. The clay loam Ap horizon presents some difficulty for hand hoe cultivation but mechanized cultivation prepares better seed bed tilth.
