Abstract

The Classification of Yugoslav Soils (Škorić et al., 1985) is the official soil classification which is used today in the Republic of Serbia. It has six categories of taxons (orders, classes, types, subtypes, varieties, and forms) connected hierarchically and based on logical principles. According to this Classification, soils in Serbia are divided into four orders depending on the character of soil wetting and the composition of the water which wets the soil: 1) Automorphic soils; 2) Hydromorphic soils; 3) Halomorphic soils; and 4) Subaqueous (subhydric) soils.
