WHAT DOES LITHOSOL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Orthent

In USDA soil taxonomy, orthents are defined as entisols that lack horizon development due to either steep slopes or parent materials that contain no permanent weatherable minerals. Typically, Orthents are exceedingly shallow soils. They are often referred to as skeletal soils or, in the FAO soil classification, as lithosols. The basic requirement for recognition of an orthent is that any former soil has been either completely removed or so truncated that the diagnostic horizons typical of all orders other than entisols are absent. Most orthents are found in very steep, mountainous regions where erodible material is so rapidly removed by erosion that a permanent covering of deep soil cannot establish itself. Such conditions occur in almost all regions of the world where steep slopes are prevalent. In Australia and a few regions of Africa, orthents occur in flat terrain because the parent rock contains absolutely no weatherable minerals except short-lived additions from rainfall, so that there is no breaking down of the minerals in the rock. The steepness of most orthents causes the flora on them to be sparse shrubs or grassland.

Definition of lithosol in the English dictionary

The definition of lithosol in the dictionary is a type of azonal soil consisting chiefly of unweathered or partly weathered rock fragments, usually found on steep slopes.
