OBS

A Bc horizon that is strongly cemented and usually has an abrupt upper boundary and a diffuse lower boundary. Cementation is usually strongest near the upper boundary. Ordinarily the color is similar to that of the parent material and the structure is amorphous or coarse platy. Air-dried clods do not slake when immersed in water. The duric horizon does not meet the requirements of a podzolic B horizon but may meet those of a Bt horizon.

OBS

Terme désignant un horizon Bc fortement cimenté, dont la limite supérieure est habituellement abrupte et la limite inférieure, diffuse. La cimentation est généralement au plus fort près de la limite supérieure. D'ordinaire, cet horizon est d'une couleur semblable à celle du matériau originel et d'une structure amorphe ou lamellaire grossière. Les mottes séchées à l'air ne s'émiettent pas lorsqu'elles sont trempées d'eau. L'horizon durique ne répond pas aux critères d'un horizon B podzolique mais il peut répondre à ceux d'un horizon Bt.
