Orthic Ferro-Humic Podzol (O.FHP)

Common horizon sequence: LFH or O, Ae, Bhf, Bf, BC, C

These soils have the general properties specified for the Podzolic order and the Ferro-Humic Podzol great group. They are identified by the following properties:

1. They have a Bhf horizon at least 10 cm thick.
2. They do not have a Bh horizon at least 10 cm thick, an ortstein horizon at least 3 cm thick, a placic horizon, a duric horizon, a fragipan, a Bt horizon, an Ah horizon at least 10 cm thick, or evidence of gleying in the form of distinct or prominent mottling within 1 m of the surface.

Usually Orthic Ferro-Humic Podzols have L, F, and H or O horizons and an Ae horizon. Commonly they have a Bf horizon underlying the Bhf. Parts of the Bhf or Bf may be cemented but do not meet the requirements of an ortstein horizon.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
