Laterite (Pedology 🟤)
Laterite is a soil type rich in iron and aluminum that often forms in hot, wet areas; most such soil is found in the tropics. Nearly all laterites are of rusty-red coloration due to high iron oxide content. Laterite soils develop by intensive and prolonged weathering of the underlying parent rock, usually under conditions of high temperatures and heavy rainfall...

Ranker (soil) (Pedology 🟤)
Ranker is soil developed over non-calcareous material, usually rock. It is regarded in some soil classifications as lithomorphic, a group which also includes rendzina, similar soil over calcareous material. It is often called A/C soil, as the topsoil, or A horizon, is immediately over a C horizon. == References...

Hwangto (Pedology 🟤)
Hwangto, a Korean loess soil, is a yellow-coloured soil, which contains high levels of potassium chloride and calcium. Hwangto is sometimes called a 'living soil' for its medical effects. Korean loess called “Hwangto”or “the red yellow soil or earth” has been a basic element or nourishment which has cultivated Korean nature and cultural heritages. Hwangto reve...

Planosol (Pedology 🟤)
A Planosol in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources is a soil with a light-coloured, coarse-textured, surface horizon that shows signs of periodic water stagnation and abruptly overlies a dense, slowly permeable subsoil with significantly more clay than the surface horizon. In the US Soil Classification of 1938 used the name Planosols, whereas its successor, the USDA soil taxonomy, includes ...

Andosol (Pedology 🟤)
Andosols are soils found in volcanic areas formed in volcanic tephra. In some cases Andosols can also be found outside active volcanic areas. Andosols cover an estimated 1–2% of Earth's ice-free land surface. Andosols are a Reference Soil Group of the World Reference Base for Soil Resources. They are closely related to other types of soils such as Vitrosols, Vitrandosols, Vitrons and P...

Sapric (Pedology 🟤)
A sapric is a subtype of a histosol wherein virtually all of the organic material has undergone sufficient decomposition to prevent the identification of plant parts and even fecal matter. Muck is a sapric soil that is naturally waterlogged or is artificially drained.

Charlottetown (soil series) (Pedology 🟤)
Charlottetown soil series is the name given to a deep fine sandy loam soil which has developed under forest vegetation on glacial till. This series occurs only on Prince Edward Island, where it is widespread and so important for agriculture that it has been designated as the Provincial Soil. This soil is an Orthic Humo-Ferric Podzol i...

Plinthosol (Pedology 🟤)
Plinthosols are a reference soil group in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources, developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization. They are characterized by the presence of plinthite, petroplinthite, or pisoliths—concretions formed through pedogenic processes involving the accumulation of iron oxides. A key diagnostic feature of these soils is the plinthic horizon, which begins withi...

Gypsisol (Pedology 🟤)
Gypsisols in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources are soils with substantial secondary accumulation of gypsum. They are found in the driest parts of the arid climate zone. In the USDA soil taxonomy they are classified as Gypsids, in the Russian soil classification they are called Desert soils. Gypsisols are developed in mostly unconsolidated alluvial, colluvial and aeolian deposits of base-...

Yedoma (Pedology 🟤)
Yedoma is an organic-rich Pleistocene-age permafrost with ice content of 50–90% by volume. Yedoma are abundant in the cold regions of eastern Siberia, such as northern Yakutia, as well as in Alaska and the Yukon.

Flark (Pedology 🟤)
A flark is a depression or hollow within a bog. Flarks typically occur as a series of parallel depressions, separated by intervening ridges known as strings.Early theories suggested that flarks were formed by frost heaving, but flarks have since been found in areas where frost heaving does not occur. Flarks are now thought to form when the peat that forms the base of the bog beco...
