Abstract

This study aimed to determine soil position in Chinse Soil Taxonomy through examining the physical and chemical properties of the different typical soil profiles in 220 km2 land of Hetian Development Zone,Xinjiang.Diagnostic layer and diagnostic characteristics were identified according to Chinese Soil Taxonomy(3rd edition).Results showed that local brown desert soils,aeolian soils,meadow soils,and saline soils,(GSCC) should be characterized as Typic Gypsi-Orthic Aridosols,Parasalic Aridi-Sandic Primosols,Typci Hapli-Aridic Cambosols and Typic Aridi-Orthic Halosols in Chinese Soil Taxonomy and the corresponding measures were raised thereafter.
