Wow, that is the most reddest soil i have ever seen
Those soils are called oxisols. Due to the high rainfall and temperatures in that area, organic matter decomposes very fast and the rain washes away (leaches) the nutrients leaving soils that have high amounts of iron oxide (which is reddish) and aluminium oxides which give the soils the red colour.Wow, that is the most reddest soil i have ever seen
Damn, thanks for that piece of knowledgeThose soils are called oxisols.

Does that make them more fertile?Those soils are called oxisols.

Low organic matter + leaching = less fertile.Does that make them more fertile?
Asante. Dr. Algorithm PhD.Damn, thanks for that piece of knowledge
