hydrological cycles are currently studied on a small
experimental forested watershed (4.5 km(2)) in the semi-humid
South India. This paper presents one of the first data referring
to the distribution and dynamics of a widespread red soil
(Ferralsols and Chromic Luvisols) and black soil (Vertisols and
Vertic intergrades) cover, and its possible relationship with
the recent development of the erosion process. The soil map was
established from the observation of isolated soil profiles and
toposequences, and surveys of soil electromagnetic conductivity
