Abstract

"Low humus podzols" do not possess a spodic horizon; podzol formation in conjunction with predominantly reducing conditions give rise to an eluviated profile. Low humus podzols have an umbric epipedon, the Fe and Al contents of the B horizon are intermediate between those of the A and C horizon, and their humus is mostly dispersed. Psammic Umbraquepts is proposed as a fifth subgroup for these soils. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
