Abstract
Soil-forming factors responsible for the development of alluvial and deluvial soil are described in this chapter. The genetic approach toward the dynamic of evolution of the alluvial and deluvial soil type is based on the conception of sedimentation and explanation of soil properties. In relation with different soil-forming factors, the contemporary profiles status of the alluvial and deluvial soil type is presented and the best use of the land is indicated. Scientific information and data from the large soil surveys carried out over the country’s territory provide the sequence of layers, soil texture, structure, main physical and chemical properties, and national classification, FAO-UNESCO-ISRIC (1990), WRB (2006), and Keys to Soil Taxonomy (2010).
