Description :
In order to elucidate the taxomical position of the zonal soils of the island, three representative soil profiles of latosol, lateritic red earth and ferric latosol were selected to analyze general chemical properties, clay-mineralogical composition and the mode of existence of iron compounds. Based on these properties correlation with the categories in the U. S. Soil Taxonomy, FAO/Unesco system and the ecological soil classification system of France are made.
