Due to potential crop toxicity, high aluminum (Al) availability requires increased attention when preparing agricultural soils. However, research examining the relationship between depth distribution of Al and soil weathering has received little priority in Brazil, particularly regarding the number of soil profiles investigated. This study analyzed 38 acid soils selected from Soil Surveys in southern Brazil to identify and isolate the effects of organic and mineral components on depth distribution of exchangeable Al extracted with KCl (Al KCl ). These soil profiles were divided into the following three groups based on Al KCl depth distribution: Group I – decrease with depth; Group II – little variation with depth; and Group III – increase with depth. High Al KCl found near the surface of well-developed soils (Group I) was influenced by organic matter content, while mineral fraction quality defined the occurrence of high Al KCl in subsurface horizons of Group III. The depth distribution of Al KCl was defined by the degree of weathering in these subtropical soils. Possessing a knowledge of these soil groupings may aid in soil acidity management to optimize crop productivity in southern Brazil.
