Abstract

Paddy soils (166 points) in northern part of northeastern Japan were classified according to clay mineralogical composition. Smectitic and semi-smectitic paddy soils were dominant in Tsugaru Plain, western part of Aomori Prefecture. Amorphic volcanic ash soils were widely distributed in Sanbongihara terrace, eastern part of Aomori Prefecture. Smectitic and semi-smectitic paddy soils were observed in valley bottom lowland of rivers between Sanbongihara terrace. In Iwate Prefecture, paddy soils were diverse in clay mineralogical composition type in river terraces of Kitakami River (mixed type, smectitic etc.). Mixed type and semi-smectitic paddy soils were observed in alluvial lands of Kitakami River. Amorphic volcanic ash soils were distributed in northern part of Iwate Prefecture. In Akita Prefecture, semi-smectitic and chloritic paddy soils were observed in alluvial lowlands of Yoneshiro River. Smectitic paddy soils were observed in Hachirogata reclaimed land. Paddy soils were diverse in clay mineralogical composition type in Yokote basin (mixed type, chloritic, smectitic and dominant in 2:1-2:1:1 intergraded minerals). Tertiary sedimentary rocks or tuffs were distributed in upper reaches of many alluvial paddy soils, which contain substantial amount of smectites.
