Abstract

The northern part of Zhoushan Islands in the East China Sea is traditionally incorpora-ted with the red earth zone. But most of the widely spread and well developed zonal soilin this area should belong to the yellow brown earth. We have identified these soils by com-paring them with the typical yellow brown earths collected from Nanjing and Wuhan.

Key words： Yellow brown earth; Red earth; Red earth zone; Loess; Red plelsol; Late-rization; Neotectonic movement; Climate fluctuation
