Reference: horizon Reference information: GÉOL., PÉDOL. ,,Couche de sol, plus ou moins parallèle à la surface et se différenciant des autres couches sus − ou sous-jacentes par ses caractères et ses propriétés`` (George 1970) : 12. ... dans les sols dégradés l'humus se décompose très lentement, il devient un humus brut acide qui forme une épaisse couche superficielle que l'on appelle « l'horizon AO ». Sa décomposition produit des éléments solubles très acides qui, mélangés à l'eau, entraînent avec eux l'argile et le fer de la couche sous-jacente (...). Elle est absolument stérile, c'est l'horizon lessivé type. Cochet, Bois,1963, p. 48. http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/horizon |
