May 1, 2011 · In the present study, ortstein was common not only in poorly drained soils of Florida and soils with a seasonally high water table in all of the regions, but also in well-drained to excessively drained soils derived from relatively uniform outwash sand in northern Michigan.

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).

The Bandon series consists of well drained soils moderately deep to an ortstein pan that formed in marine and eolian sands on incised marine terraces. Slope is 0 to 50 percent. The mean annual temperature is about 51 degrees F. and the mean annual precipitation is about 60 inches.

poor drainage as only 39% of the soils with ortstein have an aquic soil moisture regime. From a weight-of-evidence assessment, ortstein is cemented by Al-organic complexes and short-range-order compounds, and placic horizons
May 1, 2011 · Ortstein horizons are relatively common in the USA, but placic horizons are less common. Soils bearing ortstein and placic horizons are used for cranberry and blueberry culture, truck crops,...

Ortstein horizons at two sites in the Maritime Provinces were found to be strongly developed and continuous in poorly drained locations in the observation trenches, and intermittent at well drained locations.
