Description
Summary:A soil survey was carried out at a semidetailed level by means of aerial photography and the relationships of photographic–soil and landscape–soil images. This permitted to separate the photointerpretation units. Sampling pilot areas, transect lines and free sampling were established in order to extrapolate the soil units from the work area. Two mesoclimatic units were separated, the first is the warm–subhumid, with the Mollisol and Vertisol orders, with 71% of this unit and 29% at the Entisol, Alfisol and Aridisol orders. The other unit Semiwarm–subhumid mesoclimatic, includes the Vertisol and Mollisol, with a 59.16%, the Entisol with 21.92 and 18.82 for the Aridisol and Alfisol orders.
