This area comprises 6 soil subgroups: brown forest soils, brown forest soils with gleyed B and C horizons, iron podzols, peaty podzols (with thin iron pan), non-calcareous gleys, and peaty gleys. Coaldrake (1961) and Bubb and Croton (2002) described the patterns of soils development within the coastal lowlands of SE Queensland; there is a trend from deep red and yellow earths or red and yellow podsolics on the better-drained upper slope areas through to gleyed podsolics and humic gleys (Stace et al. However, the various strands of on-site evidence, particularly the micromorphology, point to turfs cut from the surface of peaty podsols or gleys, in damp grassy areas, as being a much more important source of fuel than deep peat, wood or dung. |
