Weakly developed

These photos are examples of weakly developed pedological organisation with poorly expressed horizonation. These soils classify as either Rudosols or Arenosols.

figure 1

All these images show soil materials with little, if any pedological organisation. The arid unstable sand dune is >1 m deep, and therefore classifies as an Arenosol. If the sand was less than 1m deep, it would classify as a Rudosol.
