Gleysol RSG gate (WRB 2022 Ch 4, p 103)

Source: R/diagnostics-rsg-tier2.R
gleysol.Rd

WRB-canonical (multi-path):

  1. Layer \>= 25 cm starting \<= 40 cm with gleyic properties throughout AND reducing conditions in some parts of every sublayer; OR

  2. Mollic/umbric > 40 cm thick with reducing conditions some parts of every sublayer 40 cm below mineral surface to lower limit, AND directly underneath a layer \>= 10 cm with lower limit \>= 65 cm having gleyic properties + reducing conditions; OR

  3. Permanent saturation by water \<= 40 cm.

v0.3.4 enforces path 1 (the dominant path) and path 3 via designation (W / saturated marker). Path 2 is deferred (requires a depth-of- saturation column that's not standard).
