Abstract

An attempt is made to develop a unified paradigm through the introduction of a unified pedoweathering profile (PWP) concept that requires a re-examination of the C horizon concept and the redefinition and use of master horizon D. The PWP contains a C horizon concept of more limited but more precisely defined scope than traditionally used in pedology. In the PWP, the C horison is limited to the modified part of the traditional C that shows pedogenic connection to the overlying solum. The part that is unaltered by pedogenic processes and does not have the hardness of bedrock is recognized as the D horizon. The redefined subsolum horizons exist worldwide in glaciated areas, wetlands, and alluvial, lake, and coastal plains of the past and present. -from Authors
