Reaction ranges from extremely acid to very strongly acid. The Bss horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2 or less. Iron accumulations range from few to common with colors in shades of brown or yellow. Some pedons contain a few redoximorphic features in shades of red or gray. Redoximorphic features in the upper part are developed or enhanced by rice culture.
Reaction is very strongly acid or strongly acid.
The Bssg horizon has hue of 10YR to 5Y, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of 1 or 2. Iron accumulations range from few to many in shades of brown, yellow, or red. Some pedons have a few iron depletions with colors in shades of gray. Microknolls commonly have a few calcium carbonate nodules or concretions below a depth of 40 inches. Reaction ranges from strongly acid to slightly alkaline.
