Orthic Humo-Ferric Podzol (O.HFP)

Common horizon sequence: LFH, Ae, Bf, BC, C

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

1. They have a podzolic B horizon at least 10 cm thick (Bf or thin Bhf and Bf).
2. They do not have a Bh horizon at least 10 cm thick, a Bhf 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, nor evidence of gleying in the form of distinct or prominent mottles within 1 m of the surface.

Usually Orthic Humo-Ferric Podzols have L, F, and H or O horizons and an Ae horizon. Parts of the Bf may be cemented, but it does not meet the requirements of an ortstein horizon.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
