Seven profiles of typical gleyic paddy soils in Chongqing were selected as study objects, their morphological characters were observed in the field and physiochemical properties were measured in the lab. The genetic characteristics were discussed and the taxonomy were determined according to Chinese Soil Taxonomy (CST). The results showed that the tested soil profiles are mainly located in the hilly slopes or foots and the first terraces along the rivers. The textures are mostly silt loam or silty clay. The free iron is jointly affected by the formation process and parent materials, and are obviously different in profile distribution of the tested soil profiles. The gleyic features are doubly affected by artificial stagnant water and groundwater, mainly occur in the depth range of the plough layer and are affected by the groundwater level. According to CST, all tested soil profiles have anthrostagnic epipedon, anthrostagnic moisture regime, gleyic features and redoxic features, one tested profile has no hydragric horizon and is sorted into Calcaric Hapli-Orthic Gleyosols, the other tested profiles have hydragric horizon and are sorted into Recalcaric Gleyi-Stagnic Anthrosols, Fe-accumulic Gleyi-Stagnic Anthrosols and Typic Gleyi-Stagnic Anthrosols, respectively. According to the establishing standards of soil family and series, the 7 tested soil profiles were sorted into 5 soil families and 7 soil series. It is worth noting that paddy soil may have anthrostagnic epipedon, gleyic features but no hydragric horizon and only can be sorted into Hapli-Orthic Gleyosol, but no current soil subgroup in this soil group could reflect the characteristic of hydroponic cultivation, thus, the new subgroup of Anthrostagnic Hapli-Orthic Gleyosol is proposed to be added into the group of Hapli-Orthic Gleyosol in CST.
