Retisols

Retisols have a clay illuviation horizon with an interfingering of bleached coarsertextured soil material into the illuviation horizon forming a net-like pattern. The interfingering bleached coarser-textured material is characterized by a partial removal of clay and free iron oxides. There may be also bleached coarser-textured material falling from the overlying horizon into cracks in the illuvial horizon. Many Retisols correlate with the Podzoluvisols of the Soil Map of the World (FAO–UNESCO, 1971–1981). In other systems they are called Soddy-podzolic or Sodzolic soils (Russia), Fahlerden (Germany), and Glossaqualfs, Glossocryalfs and Glossudalfs (United States of America). Albeluvisols of the former editions of WRB are included in the concept of Retisols.
