Abstract

The soil association is described for a serpentinized ridge and its adjacent upper slopes in Northeastern Bavaria (Germany). On gentle and moderately inclined parts of the relief medium to deeply weathered Eutric Cambisols dominate. Specific properties are the unusually high Mg saturation values (35 – 85 %) and Mg/Ca (exchangeable) ratios (1.6 – 10.8) in the mineral soil horizons. Steeper parts of the slopes are characterized by Rego‐Eutric Cambisols and Eutric Regosols. Eutric Leptosols dominate the footslope of a quarry.
