Abstract
The Chinese Soil Taxonomy is a quantitative soil classification system.Based on the three kinds of soil profile,i.e.major soil profiles,checking soil profiles and delimitation soil profiles,using the spatial interpolation methods,128 points of soil profiles were dug in four experimental lines,the diagnostic horizons and diagnostic characteristics of which were used to determine the soil types of the study area and to draw a boundary line of soil mapping.The overlay analysis of soil type map and soil landscape map showed that the soil type and soil landscape had very good relationship,indicating the soil landscape may provide a reference for point set of soil profile.
