Abstract
Melanudands are widely distributed in Japan and have been considered to be formed from volcanic ashes under the prevailing influence of grass vegetation such as Miscanthus sinensis (Yamane,1973; Kato, 1978). Recent studies on gramineous phytolith separated from the soil samples collected at different parts of Japan also support the intensive effect of grass vege-tation on the genesis of Melanudands in Japan (Kato, 1960; Sase and Kondo, 1974; Kondo and Sase, 1986; Sase et al., 1985; Kawamuro and Torii, 1986; Hosono et al., 1992). Melanudands in Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 1992) are characterized and classified by andic soil properties and melanic epipedon under udic moisture regime and are thought to be corre-lated with the soils within the different subgroups of Nonallophanic Andosols and Andosols groups in Japanese Soil Classification System (Classification Committee of Cultivated Soils, 1996).
