A Dark Grey Gleysolic Profile
full name of the soil type is a combination of the series name and the surface texture,
for example, Guelph loam.
Soil complexes are mapping units that are a combination of two or more
soil types. A soil complex is used as a mapping unit where two or more soil types
occur in such an intricate pattern that they cannot be delineated separately on
the map. In naming each complex, the names of the dominant soil types are used.
The characteristics of each type are the same as in the areas in which they occur
alone.
Soil Catena
Soil series developed on similar parent material but differing in characteristics
of the profile above the parent material due to differences in drainage comprise a
soil catena. The soil catenas of Dufferin County are shown in Table 3.
