Plinthaquic Kanhapludults.—These soils have, in one or more horizons within 75 cm of the mineral soil surface, redox depletions with chroma of 2 or less and also aquic conditions for some time in normal years (or artificial drainage). They have 5 to 50 percent (by volume) plinthite in one or more horizons within 150 cm of the mineral soil surface. They are intergrades between Plinthaquults and Kanhapludults. They are not known to occur in the United States. The subgroup is defined for use in other parts of the world.
