Ferrosols are deep, well structured soils with a red or red-brown colour. In Tasmania they have formed mainly from the weathering of basalt, a volcanic rock extruded as lava by numerous small volcanoes in northern Tasmania some 10-50 million years ago. This means that Ferrosols are relatively old soils in Tasmania. Consequently, the basalt has had quite a long time to weather, which explains why these soils are so deep, with usually more than 1 m to unweathered rock.
Dear Tasmanian Soil Science members and other interested parties,
