Jan 1, 2014 · Properties: Ortstein is 25 mm or more thick and 50% or more (by volume) cemented (Soil Survey Staff, 1999). As a rule, the horizon has sandy grain-size distribution. Compared to the adjacent non-cemented horizons, ortstein usually has a higher bulk density (Lambert and Hole, 1971; Wang et al., 1978).

Ortstein - This strongly cemented horizon (Bhc, Bhfc, or Bfc) is at least 3 cm thick and occurs in more than one-third of the exposed face of the pedon. Ortstein horizons are generally reddish brown to very dark reddish brown.
These soils have the general properties specified for the Podzolic order and the Ferro-Humic Podzol great group. They differ from Orthic Ferro-Humic Podzols by having an ortstein horizon at least 3 cm thick. An ortstein horizon is a Bh, Bhf, or Bf horizon that is strongly cemented and occurs in at least one-third of the lateral extent of the pedon.
May 1, 2011 · According to Soil Taxonomy (ST), ortstein consists of spodic materials and occurs in a layer that is ≥25 mm thick and ≥50 % cemented (Soil Survey Staff 2010) (Fig. 18.1).

The ortstein horizon averaged 41 cm and 32 cm in thickness for soils with 50 % and <50 % ortstein, respectively. The degree and proportion of cementation were significantly greater in soils with 50 % ortstein than in those with <50 % ortstein (Table 18.1). Spodic horizons with 50 % ortstein commonly were moderately

In ST, ortstein is both a diagnostic subsurface horizon and the only rupture-resistance class recognized in the system.
