Orthic Luvic Gleysol (O.LG)
Common horizon sequence: LFH or O, Aeg, Btg, Cg
These soils have the general properties specified for the Gleysolic order and the Luvic Gleysol great group. Typically, they have a Btg horizon and organic or mineral-organic surface horizons overlying gleyed, eluvial horizons.
Orthic Luvic Gleysols are identified by the following properties:
- They have an eluvial horizon: Ahe, Ae, Aeg.
- They have a Btg horizon.
- They do not have an Ah or Ap horizon as defined for Humic Gleysols and Humic Luvic Gleysols.
- They have neither a solonetzic B horizon, nor a fragipan, nor a Bgf horizon at least 10 cm thick.
