Visiting some beautiful #podzol today in Asturias, during a field trip organized by the Spanish Society of #Soil Science

One of the most beautiful #soils in the world has to be the podzol. This is an example of a #podzol E horizon (topsoil) over a podzolic B. The contact follows old roots and local texture contrasts. This is from #cooloola #Australia #dunefield #aeolian #geomorphology

Happy New Year!!
Podzols, meaning under-ash, are a kind of soil in coniferous and boreal forests- one of its top layers is low in nutrients and tends to be an ashy gray. They aren't good for agriculture, but their striping does look really cool!
