Slightly acidic soil : A general term for soil with a pH value less than 7, including brick red soil, red soil, yellow soil, dry red soil, and red soil, which are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of China.

Slightly alkaline soil : soil with a pH greater than 7, also refers to soil with a pH above 7.3, generally including three types: calcareous soil, saline soil and alkaline soil.
