Abstract: In order to determine the fate of aeolian sandy soil in the western Jilin province of China in Chinese Soil Taxonomy,the authors examined 4 typical profiles of aeolian sandy soil in the western Jilin Province of China by using the current international mainstream soil taxonomy.Through investigation and description of the typical soil profiles and analysis on various soil properties,the authors preliminarily determined that the aeolian sandy soil in the western Jilin Province of China belongs to Cambosols and Primosols orders,Ustic cambosols and Sandic primosols suborders,which was based on the diagnostic horizon/diagnostic characteristics and the standard criteria of Chinese soil taxonomy (3rd edition).
