Four pedons selected in at forest Devimanaghat, K,handgar, Hosad and Ajinkere
in north Karnataka were characterized for their morphological, physical and chemical
properties. The texture and colour (hue) of soils varied from sandy loam to clay and 2.5YR to
lOYR respectively associated with predominantly sub-angular blocky structure. The soils
had high amounts of coarse fragments and sand fractions. The soils were acidic (pH 5.1 to
5.9), rich in organic carbon and are associated with low cation exchange capacity. Based on
the characteristics, these forest soils were classified as Dystric Haplustepts, Kanhaplic
Haplustalfs, Ustic Haplohumults.
