I Suoli della pianura costiera tra il Rio Perdas de Fogu e la Torre di Abbacurrente nella Sardegna nord-occidentale: prime osservazioni

The author has made a preliminary inventory of soil type that may be checked in a wide territory (160 sq.km. approx), in northwest Sardinia. The inventory, pubblished in 1/100000 scale, allows the ricogition of 16 subgroups of soils (Soil Taxonomy), assembled in 9 map units. The inventory shows that the map units are arranged in parallel belts to the coast line and exist a correlation between soil units and agricultural use. Some of the soil units. Psammentic Palexeralfs. Typic and Lithic Rhodoxeralfs, are very important in regional climatic recostitution because they show past climatic conditions different from the contemporary ones.
