          Abstract

          Se estudiaron cuatro Andisoles provenientes de los volcanes Hornopirén y Hualaihué o volcán Apagado, situados en Chiloé Continental, provincia de Palena, X Región (41º 53’S). Los suelos están localizados en las faldas de los volcanes, en un relieve abrupto cubierto con una densa foresta pluvial, muy húmeda, de 4.000 a 5.000 mm de precipitación anual, y temperatura media anual de 10ºC. Se describió la morfología de los suelos y se determinaron sus propiedades químicas, físicas y mineralógicas. Los pediones son profundos y sus variaciones texturales sugieren la participación de varios episodios eruptivos. Todos los suelos se caracterizan por tener un horizonte A grueso, con elevado contenido de materia orgánica (12-25% C-orgánico), valores elevados a moderados de retención de agua a 1500 kPa, altos valores de retención de fósforo (>90%), con la excepción de los horizontes sub-superficiales del suelo Pululil. La CIC es moderada a alta y la saturación de bases es muy baja. El contenido de vidrios volcánicos es muy alto (59-88%) y tiende a aumentar con la profundidad del perfil; la mayoría de los vidrios tienen burbujas. Los coloides de los suelos son alofánicos, pero en la superficie prevalecen los complejos Al, Fe-húmicos. Sílice opalina también se encuentra en el horizonte A de todos los pediones. Los suelos satisfacen las propiedades ándicas y pertenecen al Orden de los Andisoles, suborden de los Udands.

          Four andisols from volcanoes Hornopirén and Hualaihué or Apagado, located in continental Chiloé, X Region (41º 53’S) were studied. The soils are located on the slopes of the volcanoes, on a very steep elevation covered with dense rain forest. The local climate averages 4,000 -- 5,000 mm annual rainfall and a mean annual temperature of 10ºC. The soils were described morphologically and their chemical, physical and mineralogical properties were determined. The horizons are deep and their textural variation suggests various eruptions. All the soils were characterized by a thick dark A horizon with high organic matter content (12-25% organic carbon); high to moderate water retention at 1,500 kPa; high phosphate retention values (>90%), with the exception of the subsurface horizon of Pululil soil. The content of volcanic glass is very high (59-88%) and tends to increase with the depth of the profile; most of the glass contains bubbles. Soil colloids are allophanic, but at the surface Al, Fe-humic complexes predominate. Opaline silica is also found in A-horizons of all pedons. The soils satisfy the andic properties and belong to the Order of Andisols and Sub-Order of Udands.
