Brunic qualifier (br): incipient-only subsurface alteration – cambic horizon within the upper 100 cm AND no argic, spodic, ferralic, or nitic horizon present. Used by WRB 2022 Ch 4 for Arenosols that have begun to develop a weak Bw without crossing into Cambisol / Acrisol / Lixisol / Ferralsol territory; in those RSGs the cambic alone is the gating diagnostic and Brunic would be redundant.
