Characteristics of the main soils from Mololoa river basin, Tepic, Nayarit, Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
and represents a socially, environmentally and
agroproductively significant region for Tepic city, the capital
of Nayarit state. In recent years, some edaphological
investigations have been performed in this region and the
following soil referential groups have been reported: Andosols,
Alisols, Luvisols, Cambisols, Phaeozems, Regosols, Leptosols,
Gleysols and Fluvisols. This work provides characteristics of
the main soils (Andosols, Alisols, Luvisols, Phaeozems,
Regosols and Gleysols), emphasizing Andosols and Alisols,
two of the most important basin soils, which are different in
their genesis and properties, essentially due to soil formation
conditions. In case of Andosols, they are recently-formed AC
profile soils from quaternary deposits of pumice stone and
some ash of San Juan volcano, whereas Alisols are highlyevolved
ABtC profile soils formed in ancient and steady reliefs
from quaternary basic rock materials of Sangangüey volcano.
