Mollisols order taken from Greenwood County, Kansas, shown organic horizon with 0 to 10 cm thick above, and 10 to 20 cm was C horizon in what we called regolith that's transform from bedrock (R) with >30 cm depth level. Mollisols was richest with organic material as epipoden that recognized as Mollic epipedon. The base saturation was high caused by low of rainfall, that's make difference between Mollisols and Spodosols organic materials epipedon, even the content was in same ratio, but we also distinguish with organic base saturation, spodic epipedon was have lower base saturation from mollic epipedon, it caused by high rainfall in spodosols area.
