soil classification
It concerns the legend of a soil map. It contains many different soil types coming from the "Systeem voor bodemclassificatie voor Nederland". I’m looking for equivalents from the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (not from the USDA classification system). There are a couple of main groups for which I would like to find an equivalent. Each main groups also has subgroups, but I don’t know yet what to do with them. I’ll be placing a couple of questions relating to this subject.
I have found terms for the main groups, but would like to have them confirmed or rejected by somebody with knowledge of the field. Any suggestions or tips sending me in the right direction will be much appreciated.
brikgrond = lixisol

clay
Lixisols are forms of clay (there are several). If a more scientific term is needed, I suggest using "lixisol," otherwise - clay. The English Wiki quote also exists in Dutch and German.
Example sentence:
Lixisols are soils with subsurface accumulation of low activity clays and high base saturation.[1] They develop under intensive tropical weathering conditions. (this is the WikiPedia quote)

Note from asker:
Hi Kate, Thanks a lot for this great link! It seems to have everything I'm looking for. I would like to give you the points, but can't do that because this is only a reference. Can you do something about that? Thank you too, Jack, but Kate's link has it all. |
