Summary Abstract: | In some of the most representative soil groups already identified and mapped in Angola, micromorphological studies were undertaken in order to explain aspects connected with the genesis of those soils, which permit the consideration of further elements for a more accurate inclusion in the pedological classification system.Eight representative soil profiles were studied according to the classification adopted in the Generalized Soil Map of Angola (3rd Approximation); see WOSSAC #25488. The report presents detailed profile descriptions of the soils, together with their chemical and physical analytical data. 33 microphotographies (of which 10 are in colour) of the soils studied are, also, included in the report. |
