Podzolic. Many would consider the Podzolic soils to be the most visually striking of Canadian soils. (Humo-Ferric Podzol 3) They are forested soils found primarily on sandy parent materials in areas underlain by igneous rocks, most prominently on the Canadian Shield, but are also found in other regions on sandy glacio-fluvial deposits.

Sanborn, P., Lamontagne, L. and Hendershot, W. 2011. Podzolic soils of Canada : Genesis, distribution, and classification. Can. J. Soil Sci. 91: 843–880. Podzolic soils occupy 14.3% of the Canadian landmass, and occur in two widely separated areas, eastern Canada (northern Ontario, Quebec, Maritimes) and British Columbia, usually under coniferous forest and on non-calcareous parent materials ...

At a national scale, Podzol Soils occur in areas of New Zealand with high rainfall, a history of acid-forming vegetation, usually on unconsolidated, silica-rich, well-drained parent material. Many Podzol Soils are on stable forested hill country. They are also often found on sand dunes, including in coastal Northland, Bay of Plenty, and Coromandel,...
A source of fascination, to both New Zealand and international soil aficionados, is the so-called ‘egg-cup’ Podzols of Northland. In such soils, the E horizon and underlying Bh and Bs horizons form a distinctive egg-cup shape (Fig. 11.6). The egg-cup shape is thought to be derived from greater leaching occurring immediately adjacent to a large, lon...
At the time of early European exploration, it was often assumed that tall forest trees indicated high soil fertility. However, in New Zealand such ideas proved to be wrong and tall podocarps were found to be flourishing on low fertility Podzol Soils. So how can it be possible that big trees can be established in low fertility soils? There are two o...
The chronosequence near Franz Josef glacier is a sequence of soil and vegetation sites carefully located across the landscape so that the age of the sites varies from a few years to tens of thousands of years. The sites have yielded much new understanding about soil and ecosystem development, especially the processes that release phosphorus by weat...
Jan 15, 2018 · Further research on relations between root size and distribution and plant water use in ortstein soils under different land use is required. The greater quantity of smaller pores in the ortstein vs. the overlying horizons in both forest soils ( Fig. 1 A) may increase the volume of water influenced by surface forces causing constrained mass flow ( Warkentin, 2000 ).

Feb 1, 2000 · Podzols figure prominently in different soil classification systems with generally similar definitions, except in the Russian concept (Buurman, 1984).In the system of FAO–Unesco (1997), a podzol is defined via the spodic B horizon below 12.5 cm depth or below an A or E horizon defined by either being more than 2.5 cm thick cemented by organic matter with iron or aluminium or both, or having ...

May 1, 2011 · The data suggest that soil water transporting cementing materials (Fe, Al, Si, and dissolved organic C) moves more slowly in landscape positions where ortstein eventually forms than in those where it is absent. However, ortstein is not restricted to soils with poor drainage as only 39% of the soils with ortstein have an aquic soil moisture regime.
