Keywords:

  • Andisols - soils with andic soil properties;
  • Andisols, soils with properties - dominated by short-range-order compounds;
  • primary control of Andisol characteristics - volcanic parent material, ash;
  • pedogenic processes – youngest, and surface layer or horizon;
  • Typic Udivitrand, from central North Island of New Zealand;
  • Alfic Udivitrand - from northern Idaho;
  • Andisols, pedogenically - linked with soils of other orders;
  • uses of Andisols - limited by cold conditions, on high volcanic peaks at high latitudes;
  • allophanic Andisols, converted - to nonallophanic Andisols, establishment of bracken fern;
