WRB 2022 Chapter 3.2.11: claric material interfingering into an argic or
natric horizon from its upper limit. soilKey reads criteria 1 and 6 from
the data, the finer-textured parts belonging to an argic or natric horizon
(argic, natric_horizon) and the interfingering
recorded at its upper limit, and stands in for criteria 2-5, 7 and 8
(claric coarser parts, colour and clay contrasts, width, 10-90% of the
sections, not in a plough layer), which no column holds, by what the
describer recorded on the uppermost argic or natric layer or the layer
directly above it: a designation matching pattern; an FAO
designation of a layer with distinct parts of an E and a B horizon
(E/B, 2E/Bt, B/E, since v0.9.312); or (since v0.9.312)
an E or claric layer whose lower boundary on the argic or natric horizon
is irregular or broken (boundary_topography), the uneven limit that
3.2.1 names as an example of retic properties.

Details
FALSE without an argic or natric horizon, or when designations or
boundaries are recorded and none shows the interfingering; NA when
the argic or natric horizon cannot be established or there are neither
designations nor boundary topographies. Until v0.9.219 the designation
alone decided, anywhere in the profile.
