ABSTRACT
Correlation with Soil Taxonomy ƒ Just as the WRB, Soil Taxonomy does not accord special status to the soils we have studied here. It places them in Aridisols, Inceptisols, Mollisols or Alfisols having in addition ‘xeric’ moisture regime and ‘rhodic’ colour. It terms them, for example, Rhodoxeralfs (red Luvisols of xeric moisture regime). In common language these are reddish Alfisols. Rhod-ust-alfs are approximately Nitisols and Ultic Pale-xer-alfs are Chromic Alisols.
