Common horizon sequence: Ah, Ae, Bfgj, Aegj, Btgj, Ckg

These soils have the properties specified for the Luvisolic order and the Gray Brown Luvisol great group. They differ from Podzolic Gray Brown Luvisols by having either distinct mottles that indicate gleying within 50 cm of the mineral surface, or prominent mottles at depths of 50-100 cm. Besides a forest-mull Ah horizon, they have a Bf horizon at least 10 cm thick and a gleyed Bt horizon of which the upper boundary is within 50 cm of the mineral surface.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
