Description :
Field and modern analytical methods have shown that Floodplain soils with a pronounced A2 horizon are a large group of soils that occur under various ecologic conditions. They include Alluvial Sod Acid and Meadow Acid residual podzolized or residual Gray Forest soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic and Alluvial Gray Forest residual-sod soils, Alluvial Pseudopodzolic (Pseudogley) soils, Alluvial Sod-Podzolic soils, and Alluvial Gray Forest soils. Classification and nomenclature of these soils should take into account their ecology and formation history as well as their morphology. Floodplain soils with a differentiated profile, formed dominantly by eluvial-gley and lessivage, are the dominant soils in this group.―(L'Ed.).
