Spreads within plain areal, generaly adjoining with fluvial plain Highly variation in elevation conform to fluvial plain spread, dominantly < 250 m above sea level. Relief and slope : flat/wavy/hilly with relief amplitudo 0-50 m and slope < 15 %. Organic soils formed by long time vegetation decomposition flooded by water Abundance surface water, but in low quality Peat/organic/organosol/histosol/ soil type with various kematangan organic compund (fibric and hemic) and variative depth depend on hidrotopografic position and low vertility rate.
