Podzolic Gray Brown Luvisol (PZ.GBL)
Common horizon sequence: LFH, Ah, Ae, Bf, Ae, Bt, BC, Ck
These soils have the properties specified for the Luvisolic order and the Gray Brown Luvisol great group. They differ from Orthic Gray Brown Luvisols by having a Bf horizon at least 10 cm thick in the upper solum. These soils may or may not have an Ae horizon. The upper boundary of the Bt horizon must be within 50 cm of the mineral surface or the soil is classified in the Podzolic order. If disturbance results in the Bf horizon being incorporated into the Ap, the disturbed soil is classified as an Orthic Gray Brown Luvisol.
Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
