	Histosols home
		Most Histosols form in settings such as wetlands where restricted drainage inhibits the decomposition of plant and animal remains, allowing these organic materials to accumulate over time.
		As a result, Histosols are ecologically important because of the large quantities of carbon they contain.
		Histosols are often referred to as peats and mucks and have physical properties that restrict their use for engineering purposes.

	Histosol news
		Histosols are known by various other names in other countries, such as peat or muck.
		Fossil Histosols are known from the earliest extensive land vegetation in the Devonian.
		Histosols are generally very difficult to cultivate because of the poor drainage and often low chemical fertility.

	HISTOSOLS
		Histosols cover approximately 275 million hectares in the northern parts of America, Europe and Asia.
		An additional 40 million hectares of Histosols occur on coastal low-lands of the subtropics and tropics.
		Histosols are normally associated with Podzols, Gleysols and Fluvisols.

	Soil type -MarkInfo
		The system developed in the US, called "Soil Taxonomy" is so comprehensive and so general, that it can be applied worldwide, for example in the Nordic countries.
		The system comprises 11 main groups, for example, Spodosols, Inceptisols, Entisols and Histosols.
		This system comprises 28 main groups, for example, Podsols, Cambisols, Histosols, Gleysols, Leptosols, Regosols och Arenosols.

	ARS \| Publication request: Inventory, Crop Use, and Soil Subsidence of Histosols in Florida
		A survey of all counties in Florida was conducted to determine the inventory and crop use of Histosols in Florida and assess the crop uses of Histosols for reduced soil subsidence.
		The purpose of this study was to report on the inventory and crop use of Histosols in Florida and assess the crop uses of Histosols for reduced soil subsidence.
		An inventory of Histosols in Florida was conducted by counting the hectares of Histisols in NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) soil surveys and estimating number of hectares of Histosols from old soil surveys in areas of Florida that were not mapped by NRCS.

	Nutrient Requirements for Sugarcane Production on Florida Muck Soils
		Histosols (organic soils) of the EAA are classified according to their organic matter content, degree of decomposition, mineral or clay content, and depth to bedrock or mineral horizon.
		Histosols range from 0.5 to over 3.5% total nitrogen (N), with EAA Histosols averaging 2-4% N (Porter and Sanchez, 1994).
		Approximately 30 to 85% of the total P is in the organic form and must be mineralized to be utilized by the plant.
