Terric Mesic Humisol (TME.H)

Common horizon sequence: Om or Oh, Oh, Om, C, Oh

Soils of this subgroup have the general properties specified for the Organic order and the Humisol great group. They differ from Typic Humisols by having both a terric layer (an unconsolidated mineral layer at least 30 cm thick) beneath the surface tier and a subdominant mesic layer thicker than 25 cm within the control section. These soils may also have cumulic or limnic layers but lack a subdominant fibric or hydric layer.
