Common horizon sequence: LFH, Bm, BCgj, Cz

These Static Cryosols have a relatively high degree of base saturation, as indicated by their pH. They are identified by the following properties:

  1. These soils have a Bm horizon at least 10 cm thick.
  2. They have a pH (0.01 M CaCl2) of 5.5 or greater in some or all of the B horizons.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
