- Ortstein forms primarily in podzolic soils by translocation of Al-humus complexes from A and E horizons and immobilization thereof in ortstein horizons where they bridge and cement sand grains (Bockheim, 2011).

Jan 1, 2014 · Origin: Ortstein is usually a hard, partly or entirely cemented illuvial horizon B of podzol or gley-podzol soils, formed as a result of illuviation of aluminum, iron, manganese, and humus compounds from the overlying horizons.

May 1, 2011 · Soils with ortstein occur on lesser slopes (p = 0.001) and at lower elevations (p = 0.015) than soils without ortstein. The lower depth boundary and thickness of the spodic horizon were significantly greater (p = 0.001) in soils with ortstein than in those without ortstein.

May 1, 2011 · Orstein occurs in soils with soil temperature regimes (STR) ranging from cryic or frigid to hyperthermic as well as isomesic. However, soils with ortstein most commonly had a frigid STR. Soils with ortstein occurred in four soil mineral classes, including mixed, siliceous, isotic, and amorphic but were most common (56%) in the mixed class .

They do not have an ortstein or a placic horizon but may have an Ah horizon and mottles that indicate gleying in some part of the control section. These soils occur most commonly in coastal southwestern British Columbia.
Soils with ortstein have been reported throughout the world, including eastern and western Canada (Lavkulich et al., 1971; Lapen and Wang, 1999), Finland (Yli-Halla et al., 2006), Great Britain, Germany and Poland
