Mollisols primarily occur in the middle latitudes and are extensive in prairie regions such as the Great Plains of the US. Globally, they occupy ~7.0% of the ice-free land area. In the US, they are the most extensive soil order, accounting for ~21.5% of the land area. Mollisols are among some of the most important and productive agricultural soils in the world and are extensively used for this purpose. Mollisols are divided into 8 suborders: Albolls, Aquolls, Rendolls, Gelolls, Cryolls, Xerolls, Ustolls, and Udolls. Click here for more information about these suborders.
