Se dit d'une matière qui présente des taches ou des inclusions d'oxyde ou d'hydrate ferrique dont la couleur varie du jaune au rouge. Sous les climats tropicaux, la destruction de la matière organique et la libération du fer, complexé par l'humus amènent l'apparition de cet élément dans le profil sous forme de concrétions ou d'enduits ou à l'état diffus et cette «individualisation» du fer entraîne la rubéfaction du sol (sols ferrugineux tropicaux). 4, record 1, French, - ferrugineux
