Nine typical pedons representing major quartzite-schistose landscape in tropical
ecosystem of Goa viz., high hills, restricted summits, low hills, inter-hilly valley and
narrow valley under varying land use were studied for their morphological
characteristics, physical and chemical properties, soil genesis and taxonomy. The soils
were slightly to moderately acidic in reaction, very shallow to very deep. Texture of
the soils varied from gravelly sandy clay loam to gravelly clay on the hills and sandy
clay loam to clay in valley soils. The clay content, bulk density, AWC, organic
carbon, cation exchange capacity, base saturation and exchangeable hydrogen and
aluminium in the soils were ranged from 34.3 to 46.8 per cent, 1.30 to 1.48 Mg m-

respectively. The soils had
isohyperthermic temperature regime and ustic soil moisture regime. The soils were
grouped under three soil orders viz., Entisols, Inceptisols and Alfisols and further
classified into four families viz., Lithic Ustorthents, Lithic Haplustepts, Dystric
Haplustepts, Typic Haplustalfs.
