NW-Thailand, three different types of Cambisols were detected. The
first type occurs on steep slopes and is derived mainly from Luvisols,
Alisols and Acrisols by soil erosion. The second type is common on
lower and concave slopes, depressions, and valleys controlled by
colluvial deposits. The third type dominates the highest elevations
with precipitation of more than 2000 mm a-1 on low permeable rocks (mainly granite and gneiss). | |
