Answer:
Spodosols are one of the eleven soil major orders in the world, and Michigan has some of the better ones around. These soils form in sandy materials, under climates where large amounts of water infiltrate into the soil at one or more times of the year. In Michigan, that "time of year" is during the snowmelt period, in spring. The soils form under forest, usually mixed forest types (maple, pine, hemlock, birch). They are useful for forestry and recreation.

Spodosols are acid soils characterized by a subsurface accumulation of humus and Al & Fe oxides. These soils are very photogenic and typically have a light-colored E horizon overlying a reddish-brown spodic horizon. Spodosols often occur under coniferous forest in cool, moist climates.
Spodosols are prevalent in the northern parts of the Great Lakes region (see map below). In fact, Spodosols dominate the northern two-thirds of Michigan. A considerable amount of leaching has taken place in this area so humus and minerals, particularly aluminum and iron have been translocated from the top, or A horizon, into the B horizon. The color of the soil is often gray, which indicates a lack of humus because pine is the dominant natural vegetation for most of this region. Pine needles do not break down into humus easily and lie undecayed on the forest floor. The short growing season also slows the biological and physical breakdown of the pine needles and other vegetable matter. The exact nature of the soil found in any area will depend upon the variety of factors mentioned earlier.
Answer:
the Myakka fine sand, state soil of Florida. Most Spodosols are poor soils for agriculture. Some of them are sandy and excessively drained.
