Eluviated Sombric Brunisol (E.SB)

Common horizon sequence: LFH, Ah, Ae or Aej, Bm or Bfj, C

These soils have the general properties specified for soils of the Brunisolic order and the Sombric Brunisol great group. They differ from Orthic Sombric Brunisols by having an eluvial horizon, Ae or Aej, at least 2 cm thick. The underlying horizon may be a Btj with thin clay skins on some surfaces or, more commonly, a Bfj. Otherwise, these soils have the diagnostic properties of Orthic Sombric Brunisols.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
