Abstract
There is still much of great value to discover about soil variability in the highlands of northern Thailand. Part of this chapter tries to review the state of knowledge of the highland soils and part presents results which have been produced within subproject B1 of SFB 564. This project follows a long-term strategy in which the variability of soil and water balance is researched beginning at a field scale and ending at a regional level. The same approach is also followed here.
