Taiwan is located in the subtropical and tropical regions with high precipitation (>2500mmyr−1) and high temperature (>22°C). The total area for rice and upland crop production is 8800 km2 which is about 25% of the total area of Taiwan. The main Soil Orders of rural soils in Taiwan are Inceptisols, Alfisols, Ultisols and Entisols, based on the Keys to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff; 1994) (Table 1).
