Orthic Humic Podzol (O.HP)

Common horizon sequence: O or LFH, Ae, Bh, Bfgj, BCgj, Cg

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

1. They have a Bh horizon at least 10 cm thick.
2. They do not have an ortstein horizon at least 3 cm thick, a placic horizon, a duric horizon, or a fragipan.

Usually Orthic Humic Podzols have L, F, and H or O horizons and an Ae horizon. Commonly they have a Bhf or Bf horizon underlying the Bh horizons. They may have mottling that indicates gleying at any depth within the control section. Parts of the Bhf or Bf may be cemented but do not meet the requirements of an ortstein horizon.

Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
