Order Name |
Gley |
Symbol |
G |
Description |
Saturated
by water for prolonged periods and with pale greyish subsoils.
Affected mainly by groundwater in their natural state. |
Classification |
Gley
soils are poorly-drained and very poorly-drained soils.
In their undrained state, saturation occurs during prolonged
periods, oxygen is limited and reducing conditions occur(typically
affecting iron, manganese, nitrates, and sometimes sulphates).
Greyish colours are dominant throughout the solum or to
a depth of 90 cm or more. |
Correlation |
The
order comprises gley soils and gleyed recent soils of the
NZ Genetic Soil Classification. The soils correlate predominantly
within the Aquents, Aquepts and Aquox (Oxidic Gley Soils
of Soil Taxonomy). |
Occurance |
Gley
soils occur throughout New Zealand, usually in low parts
of the landscape where there are high groundwater-table,
or in places where there are seepages. Large areas of Gley
soils have been artificially drained to form productive
agricultural land. |
