Phaeozem

Distribution of Phaenozem soils as defined by the World Reference Base for Soil Resources classification:
  Dominant (more than 50% of soil cover)

  Codominant (25-50%)

  Associated (5-25%)

A Phaeozem in the

Mollisols) of the USDA soil taxonomy.^[1]^[2]

These soils are found mainly in humid and sub-humid tall-grass

glacial till and typically have organic matter contents of about 5% and a pH

Intensive agricultural use is widespread and includes wheat, soybean and cotton production and improved pastures for cattle.
