All Soils
“All soils” refers to soils with any USDA soil texture. All mineral layers above any of the layers meeting the requirements of any A indicator(s), except for indicator A16, have a dominant chroma of 2 or less, or the thickness of the layer(s) with a dominant chroma of more than 2 is less than 15 cm (6 inches). In addition, nodules and concretions are not considered to be redox concentrations for the application of the indicators. Use the following A-indicators in all soil layers, regardless of texture.
