Agrotermos

Preferred term

Gypsisols

Gypsisols are soils with substantial accumulation of secondary gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O). These soils are found in the driest parts of the arid climate zone, which explains why leading soil classification systems labelled many of them Desert grey-brown soils (former Soviet Union). The Soil Map of the World (FAO–UNESCO, 1971–1981) accommodates them among Yermosols or Xerosols. In the United States of America most of them belong to the Gypsids.
