Ferrosols

Ferrosols are non-texture contrast soils that are mainly deep, well-structured and friable. They have typically formed on older basalts, are high in free iron oxide and clay and generally strongly acid throughout.

The colour suborder refers to the dominant colour class in the major part of the upper 0.5 m of the B2 horizon (or the major part of the entire B2 horizon if it is less than 0.5 m thick) e.g. red
