Ñadi

Ñadi is a type of soil and a phytogeographic zone of Southern Chile[1] Ñadi soil has an impermeable layer, usually called "fierrillo".[1] In phytogeography, ñadis are located in the Chilean Central Valley of Los Lagos Region, specifically between the moraines or the last glaciation (Llanquihue glaciation) and those of the penultimate glaciation (Santa María glaciation).[1]

The archaeological site of Monte Verde in picture is in a zone of ñadi soils.
