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