Description
［Synopsis］
Distribution patterns and characteristics of the soils in the major lowland rice areas in Luzon Island, the Philippines were analyzed in relation to factors such as parent material s, climate, and topography. The characteristics of the Philippine lowland soils were essentially controlled by the basic nature of the parent materials. However, differences in the soil characters among regions and within a region were induce d by factors such as rainfall and topography, which may control the local soil moisture conditions.
