The Kazan Upland Soils

Regosolic SoilMuch of the Kazan Upland Subregion has no soil, being either exposed bedrock or where the amount of weathered material is too thin over bedrock to qualify as a soil. Where soils have developed in upland sites, Podzolics and Regosolics are most common. Organics and Cryosolics occur in the peatlands.
