   A buried soil is defined by the National Resources Conservation Service as a soil that is “covered with a surface mantle of new soil material that either is 50 cm or more thick or is 30–50 cm thick and has a thickness that equals at least half the total thickness of the named diagnostic horizons that are preserved in the buried soil ...

   A significant number of the terms included in this glossary are words that can be found in a common dictionary, but that have specific unique meanings in the context of soil survey and soil classification. Examples include artifacts, buried soil, artificial drainage, component, correlation, horizon, and normal year.

   The arrangement of these horizons in a soil is known as a soil profile. Soil scientists, who are also called pedologists, observe and describe soil profiles and soil horizons to classify and interpret the soil for various uses.

   What is a buried soil profile?

   • Ancient soils, sometimes buried and preserved in the subsurface, are called paleosols (Figure 2) and reflect past climatic and environmental conditions. Figure 2.

   What does buried soil mean?

   • See buried soil. Buried soil.—A soil profile having one or more genetic horizons that is covered with a surface mantle of new soil material 50 cm or more thick. In essence, two soils are present—a new soil in the mantle and an older soil below that formed before the mantle was deposited.

   What is a soil profile?

   • Descriptions of soils are commonly referred to as “pedon descriptions”; in practice, however, it is more accurate to call them “profile descriptions” because most are a description of a two-dimensional face of an exposed soil, as in a pit or road cut, rather than the result of the dissection of a three-dimensional volume of soil. See soil profile.

   What is a modern soil profile (Alfisol)?

   • A modern soil profile (Alfisol) occurs near the land surface. Source: D. Grimley. Soil is important to our society primarily because it provides the foundation of agriculture and forestry. Of course, soil is also critical for terrestrial ecosystems and thus important to animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms.

   What is a layer in a soil profile?

   • Layer.—A zone within a soil profile for which some or all soil properties are thought to be inherited from the parent material and not the result of pedogenesis. In this case, “layer” is used rather than “horizon.” The term “layer” may also be used when no judgement is made as to the genetic origin of the zone. See horizon.

   What is a buried horizon?

   • Buried horizon.—A genetic soil horizon that originally formed at or near the soil surface and is now covered by more recently deposited material. The major genetic features of the horizon were formed before burial. A buried horizon within a profile description is denoted with horizon symbol suffix “b” (e.g., Ab, Btb).
