| 1. | Melanic epipedon is extremely fluffly for a mineral soil.
|
| 2. | Ochric epipedon refers to surface characteristics of the soils.
|
| 3. | The mollic epipedon also has a high base saturation ( > 50 % ).
|
| 4. | The species overwinters in the larval or pupal stage in the leaves, litter or the epipedon.
|
| 5. | This fertile surface horizon, known as a mollic epipedon, is the defining diagnostic feature of Mollisols.
|
| 6. | Inceptisols soils have developed in relatively young material that have an Ochric epipedon is rich in weatherable minerals.
|
| 7. | Thickness of the mollic epipedon ranges from 8 to 20 inches and includes all or part of the Bt horizon.
|
| 8. | Histic epipedon is a 20 to 60 cm thick layer of organic soil materials ( > 20 % ) overlying a mineral soil.
|
| 9. | Ustochrepts are characterised by an " ochric epipedon ", a warm soil temperature regime and an ustic soil moisture regime.
|
| 10. | The umbric epipedon has the same general characteristics as the mollic epipedon except it has a low base saturation ( 0.6 % ).
