To popularize application of the Chinese Soil Taxonomy and elucidate positions of the soils of the Jinggang Mountain in the system,this paper attempted to classify the soils on the Jinggang Mountains,which are located on the boundary between Hunan and Jiangxi.Comprehensive analysis of findings of out-door investigations and results of indoor tests of soil samples for physical and chemical properties showed that the main properties of the soils in the Jinggang Mountains varied regularly with the altitude.According to the Chinese Soil Taxonomy (3rd edition),the altitudinal zonation of the soils in the region consists of Udic Ferrosols(<500 m),Udic Argosols(500-1 000 m),Perudic Argosols(1 000-1 500 m),and Orthic Primosols (1 500-1 900 m).
