Abstract

Acid sulfate soils form an important group of soils in Peninsular Malaysia particularly on the West Coast. These soils developed over marine estuarine and brackish water deposits could be divided into two groups - the potential acid sulfate soils and the true acid sulfate soils using the definitions established in Soil Taxonomy. The classification of these soils in accordance to the Malaysian system was discussed. The Malaysian system though based on the concepts of Soil Taxonomy had been modified to suit local conditions. Two sequences of acid sulfate soils had been recognized in Peninsular Malaysia. A key to the identification of these acid sulfate soils had been recognized in Peninsular Malaysia. A key to the identification of these acid sulfate soils was also presented in the paper
