In the Haldi Ghati region of Rajasthan with identical climate and vegetation, land physiographic position induced marked differences in soil properties like soil colour, horizon thickness, calcareousness, texture, soil pH, CEC and exchangeable bases. Typic Ustorthents (side slopes), Typic Ustochrepts (foot slopes, gently sloping plain and nearly level alluvial plain) and Typic Ustifluvents (flood plain) subgroups were identified in the area. Typic Ustochrepts in three physiographic positions indicated major differences in textural distribution.
