Materi 10: Klasifikasi Tanah
KLASIFIKASI TANAH
Klasifikasi Tanah
Usaha membeda-bedakan mengelompokkan tanah berdasarkan sifatsifatnya
Tujuan
mengetahui sifat dan ciri tanah pada masingmasing kelompok tanah (kelas tanah) sehingga memudahkan pengguna tanah untuk mengelola tanah tersebut agar dapat berproduksi secara optimal
Alami/taksonomi:berdasarkan sifat2 alami tanah tanpa dihub. dgn pengunaannya - Taksonomi Tanah (USDA)
Klasifikasi Teknikal: berdasarkan tujuan khusus dgn memilih ciri2 ttt yg pgrhi kemampuan dan penggunaannya -

General Principles of Natural Classification Systems: • The system should express general or universal relationships that exist in nature. One should be able to understand, remember, generalize, or predict from the information obtained. • The scheme should be based on characteristics or attributes of things classified as related to their genesis. It should place similar things together on the basis of their properties. • It is technically impossible to use all properties of the items being classified. Existing knowledge must be used to determine which properties are most important
Why Classify Soils? • Organize knowledge to enable investigation and communication (structure/organization) • Provide framework for establishing relationships among soils and their environment (scientific) • Establish groupings for interpretations (utilitarian) – Optimal use – Hazard/limitation/remediation assessment – Potential productivity – Framework for technology transfer/information dissemination
Tanah bermacam-macam
Klasifikasi Tanah di Indonesia Sejak
th 1988 hanya gunakan sistem Taksonomi Tanah. Sebelum 1988 ada 3 : -

Pusat Penelitian Tanah (PPT) FAO/UNESCO Taksonomi Tanah. Tanah.
Taksonomi Tanah (USDA)
dikembangkan oleh Soil Survey Staff (USDA), tahun 1975
Terus direvisi 2ed, 1999
ada 6 kategori yaitu Order, Suborder, Great group, Subgroup, Family dan Series.
Categories in ST:
Order – key soil properties resulting from major soil soil-forming processes (epipedons, subsurface horizons, materials, characteristics) Suborder – key soil properties that are major controls on soil--forming processes, e.g., soil climate (most orders); soil kinds of salts (Aridisols); kinds of soil parent materials (Entisols); degree of decomposition (Histosols); presence or absence of cryoturbation (Gelisols) Great Group – key soil properties that are additional controls on soil genesis (diagnostic horizons) Subgroup – central concept (Typic), intergrades, extragrades Family – properties important to plant growth (texture, mineralogy, soil temperature regime, etc.) Series – soil morphology

ALFISOL
The central concept of Alfisols is that of soils that have an argillic, a kandic, or a natric horizon and a base saturation of 35% or greater. They typically have an ochric epipedon, but may have an umbric epipedon. They may also have a petrocalcic horizon, a fragipan or a duripan.
ANDISOLS
The central concept of Andisols is that of soils dominated by shortshort-range range-order minerals. They include weakly weathered soils with much volcanic glass as well as more strongly weathered soils. Hence the content of volcanic glass is one of the characteristics used in defining andic soil properties
ARIDISOL Aridisols is that of soils that are too dry for mesophytic plants to grow. They have either: (1) an aridic moisture regime and an ochric or anthropic epipedon and one or more of the following with an upper boundry within 100 cm of the soil surface: a calcic, cambic, gypsic, natric, petrocalcic petrogypsic, or a salic horizon or a duripan or an argillic horizon, or (2)A salic horizon and saturation with water within 100 cm of the soil surface for one month or more in normal years.
ENTISOLS
The central concept of Entisols is that of soils that have little or no evidence of development of pedogenic horizons. Many Entisols have an ochric epipedon and a few have an anthropic epipedon. Many are sandy or very shallow.
GELISOLS
The central concept of Gelisols is that of soils that have permafrost within 100 cm of the soil surface and/or have gelic materials within 100 cm of the soil surface and have permafrost within 200 cm. Gelic materials are mineral or organic soil materials that have evidence of cryoturbation (frost churning) and/or ice segeration in the active layer (seasonal thaw layer) and/or the upper part of the permafrost.
HISTOSOLS
The central concept of Histosols is that of soils that are dominantly organic. They are mostly soils that are commonly called bogs, moors, or peats and mucks. A soil is classified as Histosols if it does not have permafrost and is dominated by organic soil materials.
INCEPTISOLS
The central concept of Inceptisols is that of soils of humid and subhumid regions that have altered horizons that have lost bases or iron and aluminum but retain some weatherable minerals. They do not have an illuvial horizon enriched with either silicate clay or with an amorphous mixture of aluminum and organic carbon. The Inceptisols may have many kinds of diagnostic horizons, but argillic, natric kandic, spodic and oxic horizons are excluded.
MOLLISOLS
The central concept of Mollisols is that of soils that have a dark colored surface horizon and are base rich. Nearly all have a mollic epipedon. Many also have an argillic or natric horizon or a calcic horizon. A few have an albic horizon. Some also have a duripan or a petrocalic horizon.
OXISOLS
The central concept of Oxisols is that of soils of the tropical and subtropical regions. They have gentle slopes on surfaces of great age. They are mixtures of quartz, kaolin, free oxides, and organic matter. For the most part they are nearly featureless soils without clearly marked horizons. Differences in properties with depth are so gradual that horizon boundaries are generally arbitrary.
SPODOSOLS
The central concept of Spodosols is that of soils in which amorphous mixtures of organic matter and aluminum, with or without iron, have accumulated. In undisrurbed soils there is normally an overlying eluvial horizon, generally gray to light gray in color, that has the color of more or less uncoated quartz. Most Spodosols have little silicate clay. The particleparticle-size class is mostly sandy, sandysandy-skeletal, coarse--loamy, loamy, loamy coarse loamy-skeletal, or coarsecoarse-silty.
ULTISOLS The central concept of Ultisols is that of soils that have a horizon that contains an appreciable amount of translocated silicate clay (an argillic or kandic horizon) and few bases (base saturation less than 35 percent). Base saturation in most Ultisols decreases with depth.
VERTISOLS The central concept of Vertisols is that of soils that have a high content of expending clay and that have at some time of the year deep wide cracks. They shrink when drying and swell when they become wetter.
