Brief description
Using the Australian Soil Classification, the soil at the Cape Tribulation soil pit was classified out as an: Acidic, Dystrophic, Brown Dermosol with many (20-50%) cobbles and stones throughout the profile. The soil is developed in colluvium from the metamorphic and granitic mountains to the west. The colluvium appears to have originated in a catastrophic collapse, as it consists of randomly mixed particles ranging in size from micrometres to metres. In the soil pit the volumetric proportion of rock was 32% near the surface and around 44% below 0.2 m depth.Data time period: 2006 to 2006
