Gleysolic Humic Vertisol (GLC.HV)
Common horizon sequence: LFH or O, Ah, Bvg, Bssg or Cgss, Cg
These soils have the general properties specified for the Vertisolic order and the poorly drained members of the Humic Vertisol great group. They differ from Orthic and Gleyed Humic Vertisols mainly by having either colors that indicate poor drainage and periodic reduction, diagnostic of the Gleysolic order or prominent mottles that indicate gleying within 50 cm of the mineral surface, or both.
Note: Diagnostic horizons are underlined.
