Regosols

Does a dominant soil forming process for Regosols include the beginning of loss of soluble salts, along with poor soil development?

Thank you!

Amy, if you look at lecture 30-31, the 1st slide after "Soil Classification and Geneis" shows the genetic evolution of soils under relatively good plant-growing conditions. You are correct in that soluble salts are often translocated early on in soil formation. Be clear however, that the loss of soiluble satls is NOT diagnostic for Regosolic soils.
