Podzol

• Podzol


  Type of soil
• Podzol


  • Found in cold northern hemisphere (boreal forests)
  • Has well-defined layers due to very little mixing
  • Lack of biological activity because of cold environment
  • A horizon is out of minerals
  • Hardpan between A and B horizon
  • Ash-grey color of A horizon due to eluviation
  • B horizon is reddish colored due to concentration of iron oxides
  • Subsurface B horizon consists of some weathered rock
  • Organic matter (Ao) decays slowly due to cold environment
  • Precipitation leads to eluviation of minerals from A horizon, giving it a ash-grey color
• Sal formations/chauderistics
• northern hemyphee (posterous forests
• Hopsoil humus
