Kastanozem  

DEFINITION

  • Kastanozems accommodate dry grassland soils, among them the soils of the short-grass steppe belt, south of the Eurasian tall-grass steppe belt with Chernozems. Kastanozems have a similar profile to that of Chernozems but the humus-rich surface horizon is thinner and not as dark as that of the Chernozems, and they show more prominent accumulation of secondary carbonates. The chestnut-brown colour of the surface soil is reflected in the name Kastanozem. Common names for many Kastanozems are (Dark) Chestnut soils (Russia), Kalktschernoseme (Germany), (Dark) Brown soils (Canada), Ustolls and Xerolls (United States of America) and Chernossolos (Brazil).
