CAMBISOLS: Soil that is only moderately developed on account of limited age or rejuvenation of the soil material (from the Latin cambiare meaning to change). 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 They cover 12 percent of Europe.
The current Hungarian Soil Classification System (HSCS) was developed in the 1960s, based on the genetic principles of Dokuchaev. The central unit is the soil type grouping soils that were believed to have developed under similar soil forming factors and processes. The major soil types are the highest category which groups soils based on climatic, geographical and genetic bases. Subtypes and varieties are distinguished according to the assumed dominance of soil forming processes and observable/measurable morphogenetic properties.
