what part of the country are you likely to find the majority of the mollisols?
great plains
in the us, mollisols occur mostly on the great plains, and in some areas of the west. there is a considerable variety of mollisols, including soils very closely resembling the chernozem ("black earth") of eastern europe (parts of russia, the ukraine and neighboring regions), and the chernozemic soils of the canadian prairies. 









































oxisols occur only in tropical environments,which have very limited extent in the us.
soil in the united states
in the world reference base for soil resources (wrb), mollisols are split up into chernozems, kastanozems and phaeozems. shallow or gravelly mollisols may belong to the leptosols. many aquolls are gleysols, stagnosols or planosols. mollisols with a natric horizon belong to the solonetz.
