The O horizon, is comprised of accrued litter — leaves, twigs, peat soil and organic materials. This is called the O(for organic) horizon. The O horizon has no mineral materials. The deepest part of the O horizon may have organic soils, but they are mostly composed of forest litter and muck.  3, record 2, English, - O%20horizon

A Histosol is a soil where more than half of the upper 80 cm is organic ... Suborders of Histosols are defined on the basis of the degree of decomposition of organic material. The suborders are fibrist, saprist, and hemist. ... Fibrist is soil where less than one-third is decomposed and more than two-thirds is identifiable; Saprist is soil where two-thirds or more is decomposed material and less that one-third identifiable plant fiber; Hemist is soil somewhere in-between saprist and fibrist.  7, record 3, English, - muck%20soil

Peat has been defined as containing over 65% of organic matter and Muck as containing from 25% to 65%.

Irrigation by means of underground open joint tile, perforated pipes, or open ditch to maintain the water table at a desired distance below the ground surface.  4, record 4, English, - subsurface%20irrigation

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Water is applied to crops by surface, subsurface, sprinkler, and drip irrigation ... Subirrigation. This type of irrigation is accomplished by raising the water table to the root zone of the crop or by carrying moisture to the root zone by perforated underground pipe.  5, record 4, English, - subsurface%20irrigation

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Subirrigation(seepage) systems are based on establishment and maintenance of the high water table just beneath the crop root zone. Due to the capillary action the water migrates upward providing necessary moisture for the crop. For this system to function, the top layer of soil must have high hydraulic conductivity typical for sand or muck. The existence of natural high water table or restrictive layer(clay, rock, etc.) below the root zone is necessary to allow for the buildup and regulation of the irrigation water table throughout the season. Raising the water table in addition to providing for the evapotranspirational demand of the crop, requires large quantities of water which must also be available for seepage irrigation.  6, record 4, English, - subsurface%20irrigation
