These and associated soils are dominantly brownish or reddish subsoils and no prominent mottling or greyish colours (gleying) above 40 cm depth. They are developed mainly on permeable materials. Most are in agricultural use. These are non-alluvial, with non-calcareous loamy or clayey subsoils without significant clay enrichment. They formed in medium loamy drift with siliceous stones.

 

They are classified as Eutric Stagnic Cambisols by the WRB soil classification system. (www.fao.org/3/i3794en/I3794en.pdf)
