This paper deals with the particle fraction, chemical properties, the total chemical composition of fine earth and clay fractions, and the patterns of clay minerals in eight soil profiles on the north slope of Mt. Dabie in Henan Province. The results indicated that the basic belt of soil in the region of Mt. Dabie is that of yellow-brown soils, and the soils sequence going upwards from the mountain foot is in the order of yellow-brown soils→acid brown soils→dark yellow-brown soils→acid brown soils→mountain shrubby meadow soils. According to the Chinese Soil Taxonomic Classification, the soils are indentified and classified.
