agric horizon

A mineral soil horizon in which clay, silt and humus derived from an overlying cultivated and fertilized layer have accumulated. The wormholes and illuvial clay, silt and humus, occupy at least 5% of the horizon by volume. The illuvial clay and humus occur as horizontal lamellae or fibers, or as coatings on ped surfaces or in wormholes.
