Orthic Gleysol (O.G)
Common horizon sequence: LFH or O, Bg, Cg
These soils have the general properties specified for the Gleysolic order and the Gleysol great group. Typically, they have strongly gleyed B and C horizons and may have organic surface horizons and an eluvial horizon. Orthic Gleysols are identified by the following properties:
- They have a B horizon (Bg or Btjg) at least 10 cm thick.
- They may have an Ah or Ap horizon as specified for the Gleysol great group.
- They have neither a Btg horizon, nor a solonetzic B horizon, nor a Bgf horizon at least 10 cm thick.
