Synthetic floodplain Fluvisol: stratified textures across consecutive C horizons, OC pattern non-monotone with depth (because C2 is more recently deposited, OC-richer than C1). By construction fluvic_material passes.

Usage

make_fluvisol_canonical()

Value

A PedonRecord.

Details

v0.9.310: the strata are numbered as deposits of their own (C, 2C, 3C; FAO 2006 Guidelines), the lithic discontinuities that their particle-size distributions show (WRB 2022 Ch 3.2.7, criterion 2.a.iv), and the first two are massive, as unaltered alluvium is. Written C1, C2, C3, the clay-richer second stratum met the argic horizon (WRB 2022 Ch 3.1.3), and the profile keyed out as a Luvisol once the Luvisols asked only for an argic horizon starting <= 100 cm (Ch 4, p. 122); with the weak subangular blocky structure they had, the C below the Ah (chroma 1 unit higher) was a cambic horizon (Ch 3.1.5, criterion 3.b.iii) and the profile a Fluvic Cambisol.
