Description Fifty two pedons spread over 28 Benchmark (BM) spots were studied in different systems viz. agricultural, horticultural,
forest and wasteland. The agricultural system represents dominant crops namely cereals, soybean and cotton. The
horticultural system represents mandarins. The forest systems represent teak (Tectona sp.) and sal (Shorea sp.).
The selection of BM spots were limited to a mean annual rainfall (MAR) range from 1448 to 520 mm in semi-arid
tropics, India and encompass various bioclimatic systems such as sub-humid (moist) (MAR >1200 mm), sub-humid
(dry) (MAR 1200-1000 mm), semi-arid (dry) (1000-850 mm), semi-arid (moist) (850-550 mm) and arid (
