In order to explore characteristics of cambisols as a series in Hebei Province, data of the series, containing 61 types of cambisols, were cited from the “Hebei Volume - Soil Series of China” published by the Science Press in 2017 for collation and analysis of morphological features of the soil profiles, basic soil physico-chemical properties, classification information, and agricultural performances. Results show: (1) cambisols were found almost everywhere in the province and the largest in distribution area; (2) the 61 types of cambisols could be sorted into 3 soil suborders，8 soil groups，15 soil subgroups and 52 soil families; (3) the cambisols varied quite significantly in profile morphology and soil physico-chemical properties; and (4) the cambisols were generally quite low in fertility and widerly agricultural production performance, and varied in productivity, high, middle or low in yield. At present，the division of obvious transitions between soil families and soil series for cambisols in Hebei is not conducive to guiding agricultural production. It is suggested that proper amendments should be made to the methods or criteria for division of soil families and soil series.
