[...] la brunisation, ou brunification, processus de coloration des sols en brun [...] consiste essentiellement en la formation, en milieu modérément acide ou neutre, de complexes argile-humus-oxyde de fer à partir d'un humus doux du type mull. La couleur brune est due à l'association de la teinte noire ou brun-noir de l'humus et de la teinte rouge ou orangée des composés du fer; elle est d'autant plus foncée que ces complexes sont riches en fer et surtout en humus [...] 4, record 1, French, - brunification
