Regosols
Gleys are clay soils in which the substrate is generally sticky and often structureless; grumosols are soils with a high content of expanding clays; planosols are soils in which salts and minerals have been leached out of upper layers and compacted at a lower level. All of these soils are difficult for sustained good growth. Only about 10% of South American soil is deemed good growing soil.
