Gleyosol and landscape CN
A Histi-Stagnic Gleyosol and landscape. These soils mainly distribute in the Sanjiang Plain. This group of soil is formed due to the presence of an impermeable layer, such as clay layer or seasonal frozen layer in the low part of the profile, which blocks water downward movement , and leading to waterlogging on ground surface or in the upper part of profile. As a result, long-term stagnant water leads to slow decomposition and more accumulation of organic matters in profile. They refer to a group of Gleyosols with a histic epipedon and a gleyic feature induced by stagnant water on the ground surface. The upper part of the profile is dominated by histic materials.

In Chinese Soil Taxonomy, Gleyosols soils that exhibit redoximorphic conditions under a permanent of fluctuating water table. In Soil Taxonomy these soils are mostly Inceptisols, Gelisols, or Entisols.
