Vertic Gray Luvisol (V.GL)
Common horizon sequence: LFH, Ah or Ahe, Ae, AB, Bt or Btnj, Btvj, Btss or Ckss, Ck
These soils have the general properties specified for the Luvisolic order and the Gray Luvisol great group. They may have any horizons in the upper solum common to other subgroups within the Gray Luvisol great group. However, they differ from other subgroups by having properties that indicate intergrading to the Vertisolic order. Specifically, they have a slickenside horizon (Btss or Ckss), the upper boundary of which occurs within 1 m of the mineral surface. They may have a weak vertic horizon (Btvj).
Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
