Abstract

This report is one of the results from some
studies performed in the raw material supply area of Central
Motzorongo mill, Veracruz, Mexico, which consisted of knowing
soil characteristics, classification and distribution. Starting from
a photo-interpretation work and drilling 1310 observation
points, sugarcane-growing soils were mapped. Afterwards, the
study was enlarged and the World Reference Base
classification was applied to the entire area. Due to the
complexity and interaction between formation factors, different
formation processes have been shown in the studied area and
soils of the humid tropical regions were found together with
some younger ones. Then, 12 referential groups of soils were
identified and characterized. Among these groups, Acrisols,
Nitisols, Phaeozems and Luvisols are the most extended soils.
