In the Irish soil classification system these soils are Histic Groundwater Gleys (soils influenced by water). Typical Groundwater Gleys have evidence of gleying within 40 cm due to the presence of a groundwater table within the profile and a peaty surface horizon (> 20% organic carbon) less than 40 cm thick.
