The alluvial soil found in India, particularly in the Indo–Gangetic plain, is of two types: khaddar (pale brown, sandy clays to loamy, less calcareous and carbonaceous soil, and found in the low areas of valley that are regularly flooded) and older bhangar soils (dark colored, mostly clayey, and containing lime nodules ..

Soil taxonomy is a "hierarchical" "soil classification system" with 6 categories, or levels, which are order, great group, suborder, family,  subgroup, & series

Explanation:

  • As per "soil taxonomy classification system" the major soil groups are  Ultisols, Oxisols,  Mollisols, Alfisols, Inceptisols, Entisols, Aridisols, Vertisols,   Histosols, Andisols, Spodosols, & Gelisols,
  • With greater land form stability & develpment of soil, alluvial soils can develop into a "myriad of different soils" & therefore can occur in all other soil orders of the "Soil Taxonomy System"
  • The diversity of alluvial soils results in a complex array of potential soil classifications such as
  • Alluvial soils with "mollic epipedons" & "high base status" all thru are "Mollisols". Alluvial soils in arid climates which develop sub-surface "diagnostic horizons" (examples,calcic,  argillic, & gypsic) are "Aridisols".
  • Other alluvial soils with "umbric epipedon"s or "ochric" are "Inceptisols", Ultisols, Alfisols, Spodosols, & Oxisols, depending on the "diagnostic sub-surface horizons" & properties present & the degree of leaching.
  • Alluvial soils subject to "cryoturbation" are "Gelisols"; alluvial soils which accumulate "deep organic soil materials" are "Histosols". Andisols & Vertisols are also possible, based on the "mineralogical composition", "texture", & the "soil development degree".
