Ultisol: The Soil of the South.

There are 12 soil types around the world. Each type has a very special role to play in the ebb and flow of materials around the world. My favorite soil would have to be one that I interact with fairly regularly, that helps me to get most of my food intake, and that I've at least dug into once in my life. That soil would be Ultisol.

Ultisol is a soil type that covers most of the southern United States. It is an acidic forest soil with low amounts of Potassium, Carbon, and Magnesium. This soil type is usually indicative of old stable climates since it's been leeched of K, Ca, and Mg, and is usually found in tropical climates. It has a layer, or horizon, of clay that is very thick and of various colors between grey and red with the red being indicative of Iron oxides in the soil.This type of soil is good for forests, as the soil is rich. The soil isn't as good for sustained agriculture without fertilizers because of the nutrients being leeched from the soil, but this can be corrected with adequate fertilizer use. Georgia and China have many things in common in the natural world due to having similar latitudes, and can share certain plant species. Georgia and Southern China also share the Ultisol soil type, which is also prevalent in parts of Africa and South America.
