- Sainmhíniú soil characterised by the absence of a layer of accumulated clay, humus, soluble salts, or iron and aluminium oxides, differing from unweathered parent material in their aggregate structure, colour, clay content, carbonate content, or other properties that give some evidence of soil-forming processes Tagairt "COM-EN, based on: Encyclopaedia Britannica > Science > Earth Science, Geologic Time & Fossils > Earth Sciences > Cambisol (19.10.2020)"
- Nóta 1) Cambisols are the second most extensive soil group on Earth, occupying 12 percent of the total continental land area—mainly in boreal polar regions, in landscapes with high rates of erosion, and in regions of parent material resistant to clay movement. They are not common in humid tropical climates.2) A Cambisol is a young soil. Pedogenic processes are evident from colour development and/or structure formation below the surface horizon. Cambisols occur in a wide variety of environments around the world and under all many kinds of vegetation. Commonly referred to as brown soil, Braunerde (Germany), Sols bruns (France) or Brunizems (Russia). The USDA Soil Taxonomy classifies Cambisols as Inceptisols.
