Plinthosol: Characters, Cultures, Regions & Standards

Plinthosols are a reference soil group in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB), developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). They are characterized by the presence of plinthite, petroplinthite, or pisoliths—concretions formed through pedogenic processes involving the accumulation of iron oxides. A key diagnostic feature of these…
