Red Soils in Indonesia. Agric. Res. Rep. (Versl. landbouwk. Onderz.) 889, ISBN 90 220 0715 4, Bulletin No. 5, Soil Research Institute, Bogor (xii+169p., 29 figs, 31 tables, 124 refs, 11 app.). Six case studies on soil formation in Indonesia are presented, preceded by a general paper commenting on suitability for cultivation and problems of classification, and by a paper on soil classification in Indonesia. The case studies comprised soils on andesitic volcanic material between 100 and 1000 m altitude (West and East Java), on granodiorite (West Kalimantan), on acid volcanic tuffs (West Sumatra), on felsic sedimentary and metamorphic rocks (south-east Sulawesi) and on ultramafic rocks (South-East Sulawesi). Detailed analysis of soils, ranging from Oxic and Typic Dystropepts through Alfisols and Ultisols to Acrorthox and Eutrorthox, are included. Discussions are mainly on soil classification, the use of exchange characteristics and soil genesis. One paper describes mathematical relations between various exchange properties.
